Sharpen Your Child's Writing Skills to Get Ready for Next Year

The final school bell still rings in the ears of many students as they begin their summer journey into camps and other extracurricular activities (and maybe even a little vegging on the couch). But for parents who want to make the most of the summer months, enrichment programs to help sharpen writing and study skills can mean the difference between a strong start this coming fall, or a struggle in the next school year. Fall preparation and preventing the summer backslide were primary considerations in the development of Club Z!'s The Power of Words writing program.   “We really felt the need to develop a program specifically designed to help students improve their writing skills,” explains Cari Diaz, Vice President of Club Z! “Writing is a critical skill students need to develop in order to excel in the classroom. And with colleges becoming more and more selective each year, the application process has become incredibly competitive. Students who can demonstrate effective writing skills on their SAT or ACT, and on their college application essay, have a significant edge over students who cannot. And summer is a perfect time to sharpen writing skills because students don't have the distractions or demands that the traditional school year brings.”   The Power of Words writing improvement program is designed to help students in grades 5 through 12 improve and master writing skills for a lifetime! This highly effective writing program teaches students everything from writing well thought out paragraphs and journal entries, to mastering writing for timed essays, and even best writing practices to perform well on standardized tests such as the ACT, SAT, PSAT or ISEE/SSAT. The Power of Words writing program also has an entire section dedicated to writing the dreaded research paper - including strategies for topic selection, effective outline creation, drafting, and revising. Through this innovative program, students gain better writing mechanics, correct problems with grammar, punctuation and sentence structure, and learn to write successfully.   For more information about The Power of Words writing improvement program, or other summertime enrichment activities for your son/daughter, call Club Z! at 800-434-2582 and speak with one of our specialists today.
