Writing is a critical skill for success in and outside the classroom. Whether you are communicating with teachers and peers, crafting essays for your classes, writing emails, curating blogs & articles, or envisioning a successful writing career in the future, the ability to write clearly and effectively is of the utmost importance.
At Cyboard School, the importance of writing skills is not overlooked. The school is committed to helping students excel in all areas of their education, and writing skills are an integral part of that effort.

Experts say students who write gain a better understanding of their own ideas, beliefs, and perspectives. It also helps them develop strong communication skills, which are essential for any profession. Writing is a tool for exploration and discovery.
Here are some ways writing is taught in our classrooms:
Pre-writing activities: Before children start writing, they engage in pre-writing activities such as drawing, scribbling, and making shapes. These activities help children develop the fine motor skills necessary for writing.
Creative Writing Workshops: Writing workshops are a common method of teaching writing to kids. These workshops include a variety of activities, such as brainstorming, free writing in the form of poetry, blogs, plays, scripts, and writing prompt
Technology integration: As we have an edge over others and technology integration into the curriculum becomes an advantage for us. We use a resources to make our children competent and efficient in the art of writing.
It is like giving a child a toolbox filled with the necessary tools to build something. Having the right tools in hand helps them to create something better and more efficient than if they had no tools at all.
With the use of LMS, the students have ample amount of time and more practical exercises to improve their writing skills.

Developing writing skills at Cyboard School
As per the NEP 2020 guidelines, the four important communication skills are Reading, Writing, Speaking, and listening.
As a School, we have always maintained a parity across all four skills. Although in today’s time children are exposed to more reading, listening and speaking skills, writing skills are sometimes left behind.
Therefore, to address this issue, we have collaborated with Raz-plus, an internationally recognized and renowned language program which deals with all the four sections of communications effectively.
While using Raz plus as a resource with our students not only in their daily classroom learning, but also dedicated English lab period and creative writing period. This is a part of the timetable we bring children writing skills.
Writing skills which can be associated with fictional writing, character sketch, writing of blogs, creation of manuscripts, storyboards, etc.
So that, they understand writing as an expression of their thoughts rather than only putting it on the paper for a question and answer showcase.

These writing skills are clear and are carefully curated by English teachers. And are used in different presentation forms within the groups and individually as well during the last few days. And the creative writing period which is a dedicated timetable slot for each class and each child.
