LEICESTER — Forget about teaching writing for standardized tests.
These days at Leicester Central School, it’s all about the craft of creating essays, fiction and poetry.
In classes from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade at Leicester, and in some classes at Brandon’s Neshobe School, students are focusing on reading and writing in a different way: seeking out inspiration, getting into the flow of writing and, afterward, revising their efforts in workshops.
