Write a story! Be an author! Get published!
There's a really cool website you should check out called MrsP.com. It's a free site with interactive games, coloring sheets, videos, and activities. There are lots of stories to listen to, each of which has read along options so you can see the words. The website has received The National Parenting Center 2009 Seal of Approval and the American Library Association distinction of "Great Website for Kids."
To help encourage kids to create their own stories, Mrs. P holds an annual writing contest, which is open to submissions until October 15, 2010. The winners will have their stories read by Mrs. P on her website for all the world to hear. They will also receive a bound and illustrated copy of their entry – the child’s own story made into a real book! The details of the contest can be found at www.contest.mrsp.com/
