Have you ever wondered how to help your child write more stories? This book is a gentle introduction to story writing, with simple exercises that are entertaining and make creative writing fun.
A Month of Stories is part of the Creative Writing for Reluctant Writers series and is paired with I Hate Writing Stories! by the same author.
Children who struggle with writing will not be put off as all the exercises give some help to get them started, while leaving enough room for each story to turn out differently. The mini-stories, included as examples, also give your child reading practice and the process of reading the instructions, as well as writing their own stories, is valuable experience for less confident readers.
The book contains 31 story ideas, one for every day of the month (and a few extra for February!). The exercises alternate between story scenarios, described in words and story starters, using mainly images. There is no need to follow the order in the book, let your child choose one they like and start with that.
The story starters within this book are simple enough for children to use on their own and are a good foundation before moving on to the Creative Writing for Kids series.
These exercises are aimed at children aged between 7-14, but are suitable for other ages depending on ability and parental help.
