What Will You Write on National Writing Day?

Education Week (blog)

Friday is the fourth annual National Day on Writing, a festival of sorts for an art every one of us practices daily. However humble our scribblings (grocery lists, text messages) and however grand (poetry, novels), writing is an indispensable part of our lives.

Check out more of our selected reading news stories. Each weekday, we gather interesting news headlines about reading and early education. You can also sign up for our daily email service (or a weekly digest), to get the latest reading headlines sent directly to you.
