Help your Students to Become Great Writers!
Creative Language Arts for Ages 7–14
 
By Sarah Janisse Brown The Thinking Tree Publishing Company
 
A creative, hands-on approach to writing, vocabulary, grammar, and phonics—perfect for homeschoolers, aspiring writers, dyslexic learners, and children learning English as a second language.
 
This unique workbook helps kids discover the joy of language by combining storytelling, phonics, word games, and sentence-building with playful illustrations and nature-themed prompts. Inspired by life on a hobby farm, the book invites children to build their own stories while mastering essential language skills.
 
What Makes This Book Essential:
 
Designed for a wide range of grade levels - ages 7–14
 
This book grows with your child. Younger students (ages 7–9) may need support at first, working side-by-side with a parent, sibling, or tutor. Older students (10–14) can use the book independently, building confidence and fluency as they explore their own ideas through writing.
 
Science-backed approach to literacy:
 
Combining creative thinking with language practice activates more areas of the brain, improving memory, comprehension, and communication skills. Students don’t just memorize grammar rules—they apply them in context, making learning more meaningful and lasting.

Key elements of "The Science of Reading" are incorporated in this workbook.
 
Especially helpful for creative learners, students with dyslexia and students who are learning English as a second language:
 
Using the Dyslexie Font by Christian Boer, this workbook is highly accessible for students with reading challenges. Phonics-based word lists, hands-on prompts, and open-ended writing activities make it ideal for children learning English as a second language or those who struggle with traditional language programs.
 
No boring drills—just real writing
 
Rather than filling out worksheets, children engage in real writing. They create poems, stories, silly sentences, and journal entries based on word lists, phonetic sounds, illustrated scenes, and vocabulary prompts. This immersion builds a strong foundation in parts of speech, grammar, and structure without rote memorization.
