Kids Writing Worksheets
Free Home Schooling Printables

These free homeschool kids story writing worksheets encourage your child to see the joy of writing. 

Teaching homeschool writing with ideas, tips and reassurance from 4,000 homeschooling families

Aimed at all ages and abilities, these worksheets have been specially designed to encourage your child to put pen to paper.

I also asked the largest group of homeschooling families ever collected together in one book to come up with the very best writing ideas. There's plenty of advice out there, but none so potent as real-life help from homeschooling families who can show you what works - and what doesn't.

N.B. Part 3 of the The Courageous Homeschooling Handbook also covers teaching reading and math as well as help with dyslexia, autism and anxiety.

There's lots of fantastic creative writing ideas here all designed to encourage your child to have a go themselves, starting with the very young and moving on through high school age as you go down the page.

Free Printable Worksheets

There are lots of ways you can encourage creative writing when you're home schooling, but I know just how hard it can be when you're faced with a reluctant writer.

Whatever I tried, my son William hated writing in our homeschool!

If getting your child to write is something you're struggling with, have a look at our homeschool help which has lots of suggestions given by a whole range of homeschoolers.

And I thought it might be nice for you to see the creative writing ideas that were actually successful with these homeschool printable worksheets.

Many of them are illustrated with my daughter Catherine's drawings - I bribed her!

Whatever stories your kids choose to write, you can be sure the work they do will help with whatever English curriculum you decide to follow.

In fact, if you can get your child writing stories they love, you'll find all their English skills improve.
