If you’re looking for ways to help your child improve his or her writing skills, I highly recommend a book called 350 Fabulous Writing Prompts, which you can purchase though Amazon.com.  Also, you can find wonderful resources at a local teacher store called The Chalkboard.  Located in West Hartford, this store has books, flash cards, learning games, manipulatives, and more.  The staff at The Chalkboard is very knowledgeable and can push you in the right direction!
