Motivated to Share
Finally, a Writing Program Students Are Excited to Use
Students create stories they’re proud of, eager to share, and motivated to revise — while strengthening composition, grammar, and writing structure skills.
ELA Standards-Aligned
Students learn to study and understand subjects using characters, plotting, setting, dialogue, and other useful aspects.
Works in One Weekly Class Period
Students develop and organize their writing as they develop interesting characters, decide upon great plot points, set real goals, and figure out how to overcome difficult obstacles.
Classroom-Ready Lessons
Writing paragraphs and sentences requires the student to think about the structure and usage of words, grammar, punctuation, and other skills that are applicable to all forms of written communication.
No Curriculum Replacement Required
Student express themselves through writing by actively facing challenges, developing plans to accomplish goals, overcoming difficulties, and exploring relationships.
Grammar
Students work on their own stories to match subjects and verbs, fix sentence fragments, correct run-on sentences, use the right verb tenses, and other difficult grammar issues.
Spelling
Instead of plugging in vocabulary words in sentences that students would never use in conversation, they can add them into stories for greater impact. Their stories are better as their vocabulary grows stronger.
Punctuation
Quotion marks, proper usage of commas, separating sentences using periods, and other proper punctuation makes stories more understandable to friends. Students will want to get their punctuation right so their readers stay immeshed in the story.
Comprehension
Students not only write better, they read and revise their own works so their readers comprehend the story. When the student studies their own stories, they inherently become better at comprehending other writings.
Writing Improves Fastest When Students Actually Want to Write
Students love to tell their own stories! When they write about their ideas, they are free to control their own approaches, make their own decisions, and express themselves fully.
To share their stories, the rules of English must be followed or their readers, their friends, will be taken out of the story experience. To avoid this outcome, students become motivated to fix the errors in their writing. They seek out and correct issues with grammar such as verb-tense disagreement, improper punctuation, and wrong spelling.
Once students embrace that the rules are their to help them communicate their story, they become self-motivated to learn and apply the rules. They’re not looking for good grades; they’re looking to keep their friends excited to finish their stories. Teaching the students the rules changes from rote learning into an exciting time for both teachers and students.
When students write stories they choose, shape, and revise, they naturally invest more effort. They reread their own work. They care about clarity. They ask better questions. They revise because they want their story to be better — not because it’s required.
That motivation becomes the foundation for stronger academic writing skills.

Life Skills and Fiction
★★★★★

★★★★★
Fiction is more than just getting the rules right. Writing fiction is exploring the limits of communication, with the joys and sorrows, achievements and failures, and ultimately the highest human achievements. And you give your students this gift while they prepare to excel in their tests.
★★★★★
Students can express their innermost thoughts and emotions and experiences in a safe place through writing their own fiction stories. They’re not only prepared to excel at school, they’re equipped to deal with the hard aspects of their lives and relationships. They’re prepared to be successful in life as well as school.
