How can Kivato Writing Tutoring Austin teach my child to write?

Writing skills are necessary for many subjects. Through writing, we are able to communicate with our classmates and teachers. Without the ability to write, we can not convey the mastery of the subject we are learning. With Kivato Writing Tutoring Austin, we break down each type of writing and help your child master them all.

 

Here are a few of the types of writing and how to improve them:

Descriptive Writing

• What is it?
  • Descriptive writing focuses on an idea, person, place, or thing. Using this style, the author gives his readers necessary details about the subject focusing on questions like “who?” , “what?” and why it/they are important.
• How to improve it?
  • Being one of the simpler styles, it is fairly easy to improve. Kivato Austin Writing tutors will teach your child to talk about a person, idea, or item to someone who has no knowledge of the topic. 
• Why improve it?
  • Descriptive writing is fundamental for many situations in life. Being able to tell a story, describe an event you witnessed or making a lab report are situations where strong descriptive writing skills can help. Building upon your student’s descriptive writing skills allows them to communicate thoughts to teachers, apply to colleges, and have a successful job interview.

Narrative Writing

• What is it?
  • Narrative writing allows an author to communicate their thoughts and feelings with their desired audience. This style focuses on the writer’s voice and the events told through their point of view.
• How to improve it?
  • A great way to improve narrative writing is through practice. At Kivato Writing Tutoring, we provide our students with many writing exercises that stimulate their attention to detail and writing flow. The exercises develop their ability to create appealing narratives and express their points of view.
• Why improve it?
  • Improving your child’s narrative skills will make their writing more appealing to the reader. With their narrative skills, students can communicate their thoughts to others and control how the story’s message is perceived.

Persuasive Writing

• What is it?
  • Persuasive writing is found across media from political speeches to newspaper editorials. The goal of writing persuasively is to convince the audience to accept your argument. 
• How to improve it?
  • Persuasive writing is all about properly delivering your argument to the audience. At Kivato Austin Writing Tutoring, our tutors educate students on persuasive techniques like ethos, logos, and pathos, and how to identify flawed logic. 
• Why improve it?
  • Skillful use of persuasive writing allows authors to present their viewpoints to others effectively. an author needs to write coherently and present their argument logically. Students encounter questions on persuasive writing on the SAT Reading and Writing section and the English AP Exam. 

Expository Writing

• What is it?
  • Expository writing is the style using which authors can inform or describe a certain event or idea.  Expository writing contains elements of narrative and descriptive writing and is usually found in newspapers or magazines.
• How to improve it?
  • Mastering expository writing means being able to clearly address a certain topic and explain it to the readers using coherent language and proper grammar. At Kivato Writing Tutoring, we focus the students’ attention on these skills and show how to use them to thoroughly address the main idea of their essay
• Why improve it?
  • Expository writing develops skills such as using good grammar, strong transitions, and varied sentence structures. These skills will ultimately strengthen other types of writing as they make every text easy to follow for the readers.

Creative Writing

• What is it?
  • Creative writing allows writers to show their creativity and abstract thoughts. Common examples include poetry and fiction.
• How to improve it?
  • Like any other skill, creative writing can be improved with practice. At Kivato Writing Tutoring Austin, we will provide exercises and drills to stimulate your child’s creative thinking.
