Strong roots, Lifelong writers.
Monthly writing kits for kids that make pre-writing, handwriting practice, and early literacy fun and screen-free. Perfect for preschoolers and young writers!
Every child has a story to tell.
Writing begins long before pencils and paper.
It begins in the stories children tell through play, drawings, and their endless curiosity about the world.
Rooted in Writing helps families nurture that early spark — weaving imagination, rhythm, and connection into literacy in a way that feels natural and joyful.

Why Families Love Us
-
Courtnie B., Lakewood, CA
“Rooted in Writing has given me so much confidence in supporting my 4-year-old with writing. I realized it’s not about perfection - it’s about giving them space to explore and enjoy the process. The simple exercises and storytelling activities helped my son become so much more confident. He absolutely loved the little tools and would come home excited to write. I’m beyond grateful for this program. It’s taken a huge weight off my shoulders trying to figure out how to make writing fun and meaningful for him.”
-
Madyline E., Seattle, WA
“The Rooted in Writing Boxes have been a complete game-changer for our family. We use them on days when our kids need a little extra quality time and connection. All the activities are age-appropriate and highly engaging for my three- and five-year-olds. We’ve even pulled out the materials for last-minute family gatherings, and they are always a huge hit across all age groups.”

Meet Erin - the heart behind the box.
Hi, I’m Erin - a writer, educator, and lifelong believer in the power of story.
Rooted in Writing began as a way to help families see writing not as a task, but as a form of connection.
Every story, every drawing, every scribble matters.
Because when children see themselves as storytellers, they fall in love with learning.
