Arriving by portal post: five ways to get your child mark-making, with Kate
Scribbles, doodles and squiggles are the first steps to writing. Kate will share five playful ideas to help your child pick up a pencil and make their mark, with no rules and no right or wrong.
"I was proud because I have never written a story with as much detail as this one."
One of 465 children who told us what it felt like to be the author of their own story.
The child that can tell wild stories but can’t write a word.
The child that loved writing but now tells you it’s boring.
The one that reads everything but has no stories of their own.
It's the same thing every time.
Grammar.
Punctuation.
All the rules that have to be right before a single word counts.
One of those 465 children agrees, completely…
“I like writing my own story with no rules… I'm looking forward to finishing my story and to make more with only my rules! Not anybody else's.”
You know your child has stories to tell, you just didn’t know the question to ask in…

Each short email from Kate has one easy idea to try that evening: a question for bedtime, a five-minute story game, or the exact words to use when the ideas run dry. No homework, and each one takes a minute to read
The child who tells wild stories but won't write a word. The child who loved writing but now says it's boring. The child who reads everything but has no stories of their own.
So often, grammar, punctuation and spelling have to be right before a single word counts. In Coral Cove, imagination comes first.
Coral Cove began with one question. When Kate and her son Gabriel were limited to one hour a week on FaceTime, she asked him: "Would you like to be the hero of your own story?"
He said yes, she wrote down every word, and those stories became The Adventures of Gabriel, now three international Amazon bestsellers.
Since then, 465 children in UK primary schools have answered the same question:
"I was proud because I have never written a story with as much detail as this one."
"I like writing my own story with no rules… I'm looking forward to finishing my story and to make more with only my rules! Not anybody else's."
