I think we can all agree that the earlier we learn to write effectively, the better our writing becomes. That’s the idea behind a special elementary student writing workshop led by Salisbury Poet Laureate, Nancy Mitchell. We talk with Nancy about “Make Your Sentences Sing with Similes” and why it’s important for kids to write.
