Add one more detail
After kids write, ask "Can you tell me more?" and have them add one detail to their story with a different color pencil. The color shows them how much their writing grew. Expect three-sentence stories to turn into five.
Why it works: the U.S. Department of Education's guide for teaching elementary math recommends moving from hands-on objects to drawings to numbers.
