Voice K Editing SessionsAn editing session is where all kids will sit together in one room and get their works edited by an editor. The editor will go through each sentence and paragraph, pointing out what's wrong and what's right with the article. All kids will learn from each other's mistakes to further improve their writing.

Are parents allowed in the session?
