Creative writing, in the Sprouts stage Ages 7–10
Online creative writing classes for kids aged 7 to 10
Little Lingos teaches creative writing online to children aged 7 to 10 as part of Sprouts, its live stage for this age. In 40-minute classes of 3 to 6 children, or one-on-one, children write diary entries, letters and an illustrated story with a beginning, middle and end, then make their own comic book. Every term also covers reading, speaking and listening.
What they write
How writing grows through the Sprouts year
Creative writing isn't a separate course. Children write in every term of Sprouts, and the writing builds on what they read and say out loud in class.
Term 1
Word Quests
Describing words, word families and asking good questions out loud: the words that make a story come alive.
Term 2
Story Builders
Reading short chapter books and using the past tense to tell stories in order.
Term 3
Talk It Out
Sharing opinions, giving reasons and role-playing real situations.
Term 4
Write Your World
Diary entries, letters and an illustrated story with a beginning, middle and end, with paragraphs and punctuation.
Stage project
My First Comic Book: your child writes, illustrates and reads aloud an original comic, then records it as a mini podcast.
Outcomes
By the end of Sprouts
- Reads short books on their own
- Speaks in full, connected sentences
- Writes a clear short story

Questions parents ask
Questions parents ask
Is creative writing a separate course?
No. Writing is part of every Sprouts term, and the Write Your World term and the My First Comic Book project focus on it. Each class also covers reading, speaking and listening.
What will my child write?
Diary entries, letters and an illustrated story with a beginning, middle and end, plus an original comic that they read aloud and record as a mini podcast.
My child doesn't like writing. Will this help?
Writing in class starts from talking: children tell their idea out loud first, then write a few sentences with the trainer's help. Short, regular practice builds the habit.
What age are the creative writing classes for?
Ages 7 to 10, in Sprouts. Children aged 11 to 15 write essays, reports and creative pieces in Blooms.
Who are the trainers?
Classes are led by a global team of experienced trainers who have taught English to children for at least 2 years and pass a background check.
Can we switch from group to one-on-one?
Yes. You can switch from group to one-on-one classes at any time by paying only the difference.
