Writing For Children - Lesson 2

What category you are writing for?
2. What is the age group of your target audience?
3. What are the grade levels of your target audience?
4. What is meant by the statement, “Show it don’t tell it.”
5. Do you have a story idea? -If you do, great, please share it!

I'd like to write early readers for ages 6 to 10. Also would try chapter books for the same age group.

Showing, but not telling means writing in such a way so that the reader will not be able to guess the conclusion from beforehand.

Moreover, showing can also mean helping the reader to visualize events instead of just giving plain descriptions.

My story ideas are given in lesson five entry. I'd like to write a story about a caring father and his four year old son. I'd show how the father helps his tiny-tot explore the unknown world through simple, enjoyable experiences.
