If you've got a 9–12-year-old with stories to tell (or even just a little spark of curiosity), Wordsmith Apprentice is your ticket to transforming him into a confident, capable writer.
This isn't just another workbook—it's a hilarious, hands-on writing adventure that puts your child in the middle of a bustling newspaper office.
- One week: reporting breaking news
- Next week: designing a “help wanted” ad
- Later: penning poetry for the lifestyle page
Created by World Magazine columnist Janie B. Cheaney, Wordsmith Apprentice delivers real, practical writing skills through:
- Laughter, comics, and super-clear instructions
- Grammar practice followed by playful, creative application
- Writing poetry, persuasive editorials, ads, editorials, dialogue, and news stories
The end result? A student who not only understands sentence structure and paragraph flow, but who may also begin to enjoy putting his thoughts on paper.
