There’s certain subject that a majority of kids will be turned off to, often it’s math, science or writing and yet, writing can actually increase a child’s success in math and science. The real works is, when something is as realer and as specific and sort of a one answer response as much as math and science, the brain doesn’t necessarily get engaged, its’ more of a memorize this or plugged in some numbers or plug in a formula. Writing is a very personal activity especially when it’s not the form of writing the kids have to do for school following all this common rules and punctuation rules and vocabulary and spelling rules. Writing itself can be very creative. Think of your child, when they’re very young and they loved to just scribble letters or write things because it was fun, so writing engages the brain when it’s personalized and it takes the brain away with the routine repetitiveness that some people feel with math and science and when they get to make a rap or write a song, or a play or a skit or a haiku or a story or a letter about what they learned in math or science, now they’re saying okay I like this, I’m getting to be creative. There is not much creativity sometimes in science or math, but giving your child a journal or special colored pen and saying, hey this is your science journal, or why don’t you write a letter to anyone you admire or like about what you learned with math today, now you are taking something, personalizing it, they are having positive feelings towards it and you’ll see, they’ll remember it better and be more interested with the subject.
