Polarbear, KTPie, master of none,
I have responded to all of you below:

What kind of writing does she do? Is she doing creative type writing? Or writing nonfiction that she is learning? Or detailing her days in a journal?

She writes in her journals – I can’t keep count how many notebooks she has filled. She also illustrates them and creates greeting cards and invents slogans for products.


You say you want her to fine tune her writing. Is she getting stuck on something?
At home she just writes and writes. At school the teacher states that it is hard for her to reign in her thoughts – she wants to write about everything and finds it hard to choose just one aspect of a subject.

young writer's workshops and groups that you can find through our local library
This is great – I will check this out in a minute.

Let her read to her heart's content

It’s hard to get her to stop. I have to keep her from sneaking in a book after lights out.

If she's handwriting, don't worry about the spelling.

Will do (but I don’t usually even get to see the journaling).

Wordly Wise books

I will check these out as well.
Thank you so much to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!! Big big help!!!
