Pie Corbett on Igniting Writing

“Children write best when they write about something they know about or are interested in. Offer them a subject that immediately engages their imagination, and they will think about it, talk about it and finally, write about it.
I’ve found that kids love far away places and monsters from the deep – especially the boys - that’s why we created the Journeys and Waterworlds CD-ROMs
