Children learn writing concepts in fun and memorable ways.
Nouns, adjectives and verbs can be concepts that are difficult for children to grasp. Nessy breaks these down in a fun way making it memorable. The program goes on to cover sentence structure and punctuation, helping children get their ideas onto paper.
