The Magic Pencil and Me A M Alsalih

This story offers the answer to any kids wondering, "Why must I learn how to write?" Writing is such an important and necessary skill in life. My Magic Pencil and Me changed the author's son completely. He loved to read from when he was three years old. In grade one he didn't want to write. Despite various methods of encouragement, he still didn't want to hold a pencil between his fingers. When the author told him this story, he felt sad because he couldn't write. Telling him to work hard and listen to his teacher seemed to motivate him and a month later his teacher reported that he was writing very well. Perhaps this story will help other children to write as well.
