Although we all maybe familiar with Scholastic, I am not sure how many of us actually use all of the resources available to teachers found on their site. Here is a great link for the kids to get excited about writing.
It is really simple and fun to use. Once the students click on the website (you can have this already on your favorites for students to access easier), it takes them directly to the story starters game machine. They have a choice of which buttons to press...as they do so, they have to read what it is asking them to write about. These story starters are so fun and silly that it will get students excited about writing. Cool thing is, they have to read what they need to write about first, so they are practicing both skills. Enjoy :)
