Here’s a fun way to practice writing stories with your student. Click on the following link http://www.readwritethink.org/classroom-resources/student-interactives/comic-creator-30021.html and create a comic strip story together. Your story can be one panel to six panels long. Your child can choose characters, backgrounds and props for each panel. Then, they can fill in with captions and word bubbles to tell their story. This is a user friendly website, so in no time at all you will have a comic strip story that is ready to be printed out, colored in, and shared with friends.
Try it out before your next mentoring hour…it’s fun!!
