Children hate to write essays. Why is this happening and how can you help them

Children hate writing in literature classes. They do not want to speculate why Dob called Catherine of "Storm" "ray of light in the darkness." They do not like to describe a picture Vasnetsov. They squeeze out all the remnants of the failed Pushkin and Tolstoy. Children wept over texts and trying to find at least five more words that are missing to the specified number of teacher.

Why kids hate to write essays

1. Boring and obscure topics

Many of the topics could be more interesting, but the teachers formulate them so that I want to yawn. Children see the topic "Awakening of the spiritual life (based on the novel A. FROM. Pushkin's "Eugene Onegin"), "and the desire to write is lost. And imagine if it was like this: "Can you call Onegin selfish?" To put it? And if the "controversial image of Anna Karenina" is replaced by "If I was a psychologist, as if I helped Karenina?"

More often teachers do not offer scope for creativity, and arrange torture. Children impose some sort of position. Something like "life is always a feat," or "poetry - an inexhaustible source of inspiration." Yes, of course, and the place is, and the poetry is, but the right choice is not here, and that creates fear or boredom.

The simpler wording, the easier it is to write, especially if you're not Dostoevsky.

2. templates

90% do not know how to make the work interesting as this detailed response to the question turned into a living history.

Teacher gives dozens of patterns and causes to act on them. I still do not like all nedodely in the form of patterns, colorings or pictures by number. The man - a wonderful creation. His imagination will be enough to come up with something of their own. It is important to only send.

Instead of coloring advise to come up with an outfit for a princess or your own city. Instead of questions from the textbook on the film "Three heroes" offered to invent a story about the lives of the characters. Believe me, irrepressible children's imagination, they come up with. Yes, you spend more time doing homework, But the child will be interesting to do it.

3. Fear does not live up to expectations

We, the adults, are always afraid of something in time: late for a class, not find a job, do not get married, do not give birth.

Now imagine that the fear of a child is much worse our problems. He is not afraid to live up to expectations. It seems to him that writing stupid that he did not understand the question. Worries that get a bad grade, and disappoint their parents. Afraid of myself look stupid, especially if it is already 12-13 years.

"Is this not! This is not about me or my child! "Then you are very lucky. Because most of the people with whom I worked at the time of the text said: "I am afraid, and suddenly there is."

4. Opinion, which imposes a teacher

"I put two, if I do not guess what the teacher wanted to read," - said recently, my friend. Darkness. The teacher presses his authority. To the question "Why can not I express my point of view?" Children often do not hear a reasoned response, and teachers phrase: "Write what you say." We raise robots? Or is it the creators of the future with their opinion?

5. Lack of experience

Many do not know what to write about. And the problem here is that children and adults do not like to read.

Parents do not read do not read to children, do not discuss with them the book, maximum - questions from the textbook. So with that child to love books if there is no example in front of your eyes?

The first thing to do - is to figure out what genre you like and child.

Teach a love of reading is possible through the fact that children love. Mom my student said about her fifteen-year daughter: "I give interesting books about love. I liked her age. But she does not read. " No need to give what you love. Let's take what the child is interested in. Like science fiction - acquaint with the best writers, go to the presentation of the book themselves, read at least one.

How to teach your child to write essays

1. Offer to write a fairy tale

Do not write essays, play in them. Get in the habit to write a fairy tale. Whether you 7 years or 107.

Think positive and negative character and a place where something happened, and ask your child to tell a story. In the end, it turns out funny or thoughtful stories. It all depends on the characters that you give your child. And most importantly - the children feel that they want to hear.

Be sure to tell your child that the correct history to get even more interesting. The young writer has to understand that his work is not ideal. Unless, of course, this is true.

2. Learn to pay attention to detail

The child must notice interesting details about yourself. It can be anything: lop-sided sign with the letter, which is about to fall off, black ear white dog, polka dot curtains on the window in the house opposite, funny phrase heard from a neighbor grandfather.

Ask your child to write a story using these details, and help weave them into the story.

For example, let it be a story about a dog. She lived on the street next to the store, a sign that glanced after yesterday's storm. A grandfather rarely went outside and watched the dog out of the window.

This method will help to write stories and school essays. After all, a child who has learned to highlight bright parts of the world, is able to find them in the literary text.

3. Expand your vocabulary

Reading books does not guarantee the ability to write well. More impressive is needed lexicon. Be patient and buy a couple of dictionaries.

Give your child a simple task to use new words. Suppose you meet new concepts and made them in his notebook. Then ask your child to write a short essay and use new words. For example, the "sun", "stairs", "joy" can be used like this: "Today the sun was shining especially brightly. I happily ran up the stairs to my mother to tell her a good mood. " So the word will remain in memory for a long time.

4. motivate your child

Who would like, if he will impose someone else's point of view? We all want to be heard. If the school teacher goes strictly by the book, does not allow students to express an opinion, and forcing their children will not be interested either in reading or writing explanatory essays. Why would express its position if it still rejected?

If you are in this situation, try to disassemble the product with the child. Show him that his point of view, too, has a right to exist. Let's see in Oblomov is not lazy, but a man who is afraid of the world. This is much more interesting description of his vices. Formulate themes themselves and discuss interesting points. It is difficult, but worth it.

5. Offer to write letters

Let your child write letters to themselves about their desires, dreams, fears. They can be different: short, long, with or without pictures of them. Write you need to imagine the future. It is possible in the next day, and it is possible to open a letter in a month or a year.

Thanks to the letters your child will be easier to formulate thoughts. The main thing - it will have the motivation to fulfill all that is written. The letter might look like this: "Hi, Bob! Today I am writing a letter to yourself. I know that within a week you hand over this difficult exam in music school, write an essay... I would like to... "

Send messages to your e-mail or create a mailbox in the future.

Then adults who received from your child will be able not only to write essays, but also learn to be open and to notice the wonderful world around them.
