Create a story with your kids!! This is so much fun!!  Print out the template and let your child create a picture and tell you a story, then help your child write the story.  This is a great Preschool learning activity.  It uses their imagination and drawing skills.  Depending on the level and age of your child you can write the story for them, as they tell you it or if they are a little older and learning to write, you can have them tell you the story and help them spell each word.  It’s excellent practice for their writing skills and they love it!  They are writing about what interests them and will therefore be more motivated.  After writing the stories you can have them read it to you!  This is a great way to give them success in their reading.  Since they wrote it-it is familiar to them and easier for them to start reading it.  My son loves reading his stories to me!!

The one pictured today is by my 3 year old daughter who wanted to “write” most of it herself!!
