Incite To Write
Making what feels Impossible, Possible
I’m Carol Aubrey, creator of Incite to Write. I work with homeschooling families,
students, and adults — in writing, reading, and public speaking.
If you have a child who struggles with writing, you’re in exactly the right place. Like many parents of reluctant writers, you may be at a loss — and as discouraged as your child is. But I’d like you to recognize one universal truth.
In the first year of your child’s life, they learned to do one of the most difficult things a human being ever does — they learned to talk. And if you want an idea of how remarkable that is, consider what it takes for a stroke survivor to relearn it as an adult.
Your child learned to talk without any teachers, any handbook, any instruction at all.
That is because the desire to communicate, the desire for connection, is so strong in them. It is inherent in being human. That drive didn’t disappear. It’s just been waiting for
the right invitation.
There is another reason for optimism.
“I don’t know what to write” is not a problem. It’s the doorway, not the dead end.
Education has always emphasized “I know.” But writing starts with “I don’t know.” It’s not
a liability — it’s the doorway that leads your child to the discovery of how their creative
mind works.
What walks your child through that doorway? Curiosity. Starting with a question. And
then another. And then another.
As a small child learns to talk, the very next thing they do is start asking questions.
Curiosity is the communication drive in action — the same universal instinct, taking its
next natural step.
The Incite to Write Inquiry Process reconnects your child to
their own curiosity and their innate desire to communicate. Rather than struggling with
prompts, your child follows their own questions and answers into deeper layers of
inquiry. The thinking skills they acquire will serve them in all writing and academic
assignments ahead.
How does the Incite to Write Inquiry Process work? The Practice Paragraph is a free
example that walks your child through the doorway, from “I don’t know” to “I’ve got ideas.”
Remember that your child has everything they need. The desire to communicate and
connect was never lost — it’s simply dormant. They just need the right tools to rekindle
what’s already inside them.
Incite to Write is an easy-to-implement homeschool writing curriculum that teaches your child thinking skills first, then writing, in a structured progression that reunites your child
with their curiosity and the desire to express themselves. With its strong pre-writing
foundation, your child will never again freeze at a blank page.
INCITE TO WRITE never loses sight of the fact that writing and speaking are powerful tools for self-expression.
