Writing stories is fun, but it really comes alive when your child creates and writes a story with you.
What you'll need:
* Paper, pencil, and a story title.
What to do:
* Create or choose an exciting title for a story you would like to write with your child, such as "The Golden Eye" or "Suddenly Midnight and Silence." Write the title on a sheet of paper and invite your child to write the first sentence. You write the second line. Take turns writing sentences until the story is complete.
* When the story is finished, invite the family to a story-reading session, or read the story to the family during dinner.
