Books by Kids!

Kids writing a book?

You would be amazed. I have come across a great number of children who write better than most adults.

Kids, teens, tweens are some of the most prolific and imaginative writers on the planet. Many Teachers who have to read their writing might disagree, but what we're finding is that creative writing is being taught 'old school' and it doesn't help kids.

The reason is, creative writing for many children is no fun. They hit writer's block fast and hard.

At KidBookInk we have learned how to make writing fun for kids. All you have to do is start by asking them questions about their story, and let them fill in the blanks. Teachers drone on and on about plot, theme, character etc., but kids can't 'see' the outcome so it isn't fun.

This is why we invented StoryBoard4Kidz. You can take a tour at: http://kidbook.storyright.com/. This easy to use tool is now endorsed by The Center for Leadership in Education, http://www.centerforleadership.org/ , as part of their Universal Design for Learning initiatives.

Once children get going, they don't want to stop. Many of our younger writers sit with Mom, Dad, or Grandma, Grandpa and work on their story together.

StoryBoard4Kidz actually helps prove children who use this tool improve their writing. When the story is downloaded into Microsoft Word, from StoryBoard4Kidz, MS Word measures the lexicon of the writing and measures it. As the story evolves, you can see the lexicon scores improve!

We use StoryBoard4Kidz with our authors to help them quickly finish up their book. Since it was originally designed for NaNoWriMo, writers find it fast and easy to use, along with being a powerful organizer. Those with special needs can use Voice and Speech Recognition tools with it, and Autistic children will enjoy its ability to draw them into a conversation.

As a publisher we are continually amazed by the incredible talent of children. We also see how easy it is to lose a child to video games. We hope you will contact us and let us read what your child has to say!
