It's a Family Affair...


Welcome to The Warner Corner. This is a blatant attempt by me, Dad Warner, to get my two sons, Jack and Leo, to read and write more. As both seem pretty impressed that I keep a blog (The Blog of Delights - it's great! Check it out!) I thought creating a blog where my two sons can write their own mini-posts on books and films would encourage them to read more and write more and hopefully learn to enjoy writing a little more. If all else fails, I'll stick one of my posts up from my blog.

As an English teacher, it's hard to sit in a parents' evening and hear how one of your boys doesn't like writing - in fact, he finds it absolute torture. I know how important it is for a child to have good writing skills and, with one son about to start big school and one the year after, more proactive measures seem necessary. Hopefully, if they take to this, I'll see their writing and views develop. Well, that's the hope...

Now all I have to do is entice them off FIFA 14 long enough to write something...

  1. I'm looking forward to reading these. Hopefully the lads have a more cultured appreciation of the dramatic skills of Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson than their father...

  2. Bootsie? That can only be the Lodge! I'll try and get them to write something soon! Maybe why shark movies are so brilliant?
