                                                        by Carol J. Amato and Maria Cisneros-Toth 

                                                        Writing is a critically important skill to succeeding in high school, college, and business life. According to the National Center for Educational Statistics’ 2009 report, four out of five students are NOT proficient writers.

                                                        The reasons for this are hotly debated, but one thing remains clear: Without good writing skills, a child’s success will be limited.

                                                        Designed for both classroom and homeschool use, Writing Cool Short Stories will instill a love of writing in children through teaching them to create exciting short stories. Making writing fun sparks a love for this craft that can stay with your child throughout his/her life.

                                                        Through writing short stories, your students will exercise their creative talents. Through the use of technology, they will enhance their Internet and research skills.
