Here's a tip worth checking out. I just found a treasure chest full of writing resource articles covering everything from sentences, paragraphs to essays. What more could a person ask for in terms of free help for parents struggling to teach writing.

Below are a few that I found particularly helpful but check back frequently to the Time4Writing site as they are adding articles on a regular basis.

Paragraph Writing Secrets
The Writing Process: The Steps to Writing Success
Descriptive Essays: Tips for Writers
