Tips – How to teach kids to write a story

• Read some of your child’s favorite stories to him and talk about the author of the story, the different parts, the characters, the plot and the connections between words and pictures. Discuss the story and ask questions.
• Encourage your child to write a similar story. If the story is about a little girl and her pet cat, for instance, have your child write about himself and his pet hamster (or any other kind of pet.)
• Once your child picks the topic, the two of you can create a storyboard –pictures that put the story’s events in order – together.
• Once your child determines the final order of the story, have him write a few sentences or a paragraph for each picture.
• Have him read the story to you and help him with missing details, additional facts or connecting the different parts.
• Try out other story writing activities to hone your child’s writing skills.
