"This course was wonderful! My 11- and 9-year-old sons participated, and it was their first creative writing class.
They wrote their ideas on very easy-to-understand support sheets and built a story step by step. Thanks to this structured approach, even beginners like my sons were able to write a story that included plenty of effective figurative language! Even though they didn’t know much about figurative language at first, they learned and were able to use it in their writing. I was very astonished.
Each lesson had a different scenario, which made it exciting for my sons. When they received keywords from the teacher, their eyes sparkled, and began creating their story. I was amazed at their focus and creativity.
The teacher provided great guidance, introduced them to useful vocabulary, and offered plenty of praise. At first, their sentences, which were quite simple, became more and more expressive. As a result, my sons learned a lot and became much more confident in their writing.
I highly recommend this course to everyone. My sons have grown to love creative writing so much that they are eager to take more courses!"
