Spells Writing Lab (a non-profit writing center) holds free writing workshops for kids at its new location near Temple and at various interesting sites throughout Philadelphia. There are workshops for young children through teens. My daughters (first and fifth grades) have participated in Spells for the past year and LOVE it. Many of the workshops involve creating visual art to accompany writing. This Saturday, April 10, Spells is holding a workshop at Moore College of Art. The kids will write about their neighborhoods and work with graphic designers to create collages. If your child has any interest in writing, try a workshop! If your kid gets down about writing because book reports and journals aren't his or her thing, definitely bring your child to Spells. You child will actually enjoy CREATIVE writing. Spells also has an after school tutoring program
