It is just a few more days until 2016. The New Year always brings a list of resolutions and goals. If you are reading this, writing for children or teens is likely on your list.
How do children’s writers know that they are successfully penning words that will resonate with young readers? Certainly they must connect with the tone and heart of the writing. There are also resources that can help the write get on the right track. Here are two things to consider when polishing your writing for children and teens.
I encourage you to invest in some books that will be ready resources for child-leveled word choices.
Books that Guide in Word Choice
- The Children’s Writer’s Word Book
- A children’s thesaurus
- A children’s dictionary
- Neighborhood
- Family
- School
- Church
- Social settings
One Response
All three of those books are readily available and can be fairly inexpensive. I happened to pick up a children’s thesaurus and dictionary at my local thrift store and found a used copy of The Children’s Writer’s Word Book very reasonably priced online.
Thank you for recommending such practical tools.
