When it comes to creative writing, it is one of the most difficult concepts to teach to our children simply because they want to get started before they’ve had any time to think about planning, preparation, or understanding. What this story is going to be about

These simple task cards will enable parents to engage their children with planning and preparing a story before engaging in the process of writing the actual text.
