How to explain a Writer to your child

A Writer puts words together so other people can read them and understand. On a regular day, they sit with a notebook or a computer, thinking about what to say and who will read it. For example, they might write a book about a curious fox, a poem, or the words on a museum sign, then read it out loud and change whatever sounds wrong. Sometimes they talk with an editor, a helper who reads the writing and suggests ideas to make it better.

Words are how we share what we know and how we feel. A Writer's work might help you learn how volcanoes work, or make you laugh on a rainy afternoon. Clear instructions can help someone build a birdhouse, and a kind letter can help a friend feel less alone. Whenever you read something and understand it right away, a writer worked to make it clear for you.
