- They have practiced using descriptive language to convey the atmosphere and setting of the story.
- The student may have developed their ability to analyze character development and relationships within the narrative.
For continued development, the student can try writing their own short stories or creating their own magical world like in the Spiderwick Chronicles. They can also explore other fantasy novels and series, and try to summarize and analyze those as well. Encouraging them to participate in creative writing contests and book clubs can also nurture their love of reading and writing.
