Turning Reluctant Writers into Confident Communicators with Julie Bogart

Today, we’re tackling a challenge that so many parents face—kids who absolutely hate writing. But don’t worry, help is here! 

I’m thrilled to welcome Julie Bogart, founder of Brave Writer and author of the brand-new book Help! My Kid Hates Writing.

Julie has spent decades transforming reluctant writers into confident storytellers, and today, she’s sharing why traditional writing instruction often fails, how we can inspire kids to put pen to paper, and why writing still matters in the age of AI. If you’ve ever battled through tears over writing assignments, this episode is for you!

There's help for kids who hate writing! Our guest is Julie Bogart of Brave Writer, and she'll share how to help your reluctant writer.

HWM 308. Turning Reluctant Writers into Confident Communicators with Julie Bogart

Julie Bogart is the founder of Brave Writer, a popular writing and language arts curriculum designed to help homeschool families teach writing in a creative and engaging way. She is also a speaker, writing coach, and author of books such as The Brave Learner: Finding Everyday Magic in Homeschool, Learning, and Life and Raising Critical Thinkers: A Parent’s Guide to Growing Wise Kids in the Digital Age.

Julie has a background in writing, having worked as a freelance writer and editor, and she homeschooled her five children. Her teaching philosophy emphasizes a natural, literature-based approach to writing, focusing on nurturing a love for words and storytelling rather than rigid, formulaic instruction. Her work encourages parents to create a joyful, supportive writing environment at home.

She’s launching a new book – Help! My Kid Hates Writing: How to Turn Struggling Students into Brave Writers and has a lot of actionable strategies to share!

If you want to learn how to help a child who hates writing, you’ll love this chat. Here’s episode 308 of the Homeschool with Moxie Podcast with our guest Julie Bogart.

Learn how to help your reluctant writer

This episode with Julie will give you a lot to consider – mostly with your mindset around how your approach writing assignments in your homeschool! Be ready to take action on some of the strategies she presents.

Here’s what we cover in this interview with Julie Bogart and how to help a child who hates writing:

  • What’s the difference between how you approach writing and schools teach it? 
  • What are some of the biggest misconceptions parents have about teaching writing at home? 
  • What are some of your biggest writing success stories with kids who hate writing? 
  • How can parents support reluctant writers without turning writing into a daily battle?
  • If AI can do the writing for us, why will kids need to learn how?
  • Should we be forcing our homeschoolers to write – and write based on rubrics & required topics? Or should their writing be all based on their own interests?
  • What will parents find in your new book – Help! My Kid Hates Writing
