Kids of all ages and levels of ability LOVE it because THEY are the STARS of the SHOW !

Ø   Children LEARN BY DOING - - Award-winning author Jason Edwards teaches the fundamentals of storycrafting by working together with the students to draw upon their own knowledge and inspirations. This program covers multiple Common Core curriculum standards including CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.3.3 ; 4.3 ; 5.3 : "Write narratives to develop real or imagined events using effective technique, descriptive details, and clear event sequences."

Ø   It’s Great For MULTIPLE GRADE LEVELS - No reading or writing skills are required for the introductory program, so children of all levels of ability create characters, choose settings, advance the plot, and make up dialog in this interactive, improvisational adventure. Follow-up lessons review all elements of the creative writing process.

Ø   Children are CAPTIVATED – Everyone is personally engaged and proceeds at their own pace through their series of program segments. And everyone becomes a published writer!
