My Nonprofit Reviews

I love NaNoWriMo Young Writers' Program! The website is rich with motivational material for students as well as a great curriculum for teachers. My students prepare for the event months ahead of time, coming to school in August saying, "I know what I'm going to write this year!" I use NaNoWriMo with classes in grades 5-8, and have introduced it to other teachers as well. My students are thrilled to write, often asking to have their writing time increased (we write up to an hour at a time...by student request!) NaNoWriMo provides an opportunity to write freely, and for many, this is the most content they have ever written. Students fell a real sense of accomplishment. They are also excited to see me write!
