Video gaming writing and reading
BRIAN POLIKOWSKY
My son wrote this little story about his character so he could be part of a game on Terraria ( an online game).
Sure there are many errors but I think that for a 9 year old that never ever had any lessons on anything related to reading or writing it is pretty good. Probably better than many kids his age in school.
I have friends that are very relaxed homeschoolers that still make their kids write a paragraph a day.
I know my son writes and reads a lot on his own terms. He does a lot of research on his games reading online forums, watching and reading comments on YouTube, reading guides and sites.
It is all because of his passion for video gaming.
Here it is:
