Earlier people used to think that it is only the formal grammar that improves the ability to write in a child. This is the reason why children were taught grammatical analysis so as to improve their writing skill.

Various other studies also proved that grammar teaching has no or less effect on the improvement process of childrens’ writing.

Parents should read with children to improve and correct their spellings and pronunciation, where they are wrong. It also increases their interest in reading and writing. Teachers also should take a good care of the children in this matter. Their writing skills can be improved if they are given the task to write something of hundred words every day. They should also be taught to proofread their own written work. This helps them to find their mistakes. Children should never be discouraged for their writing, even if they are not very good writers because it stops them from writing further.
