Story Writing Activities

A parent was working with her children who had some problems with writing about the books they read. The problem was the children didn’t have enough structure and support for their writing. The children could retell the story and describe what happened in general terms. They could describe the characters and what they did. They could even describe the setting. What they needed was more guidance and resources to help them put what they know into words on paper. To help solve this problem, I showed the child an interactive writing activity on the computer.


The Story Studio activity is a fun and engaging activity, with characters urging the students on. Each story is only four pages long, which quickly helps the student feel a sense of accomplishment. There are categories of pictures students can use to illustrate their stories. Each category corresponds to a story, so children can write multiple stories. There is simple word processing functionality to help them get their thoughts into their writing document. Now they are ready to write about the picture books they read!
