Six kids. Six completely different ideas. One very questionable superhero.
Invent a character
Write the story
Read it to the group
"Can we do this again next week?"

The writing is just the beginning.

Create
Turn those ideas into stories that kids are genuinely excited to write.
Share

"If you delete my account, I will never forgive you"
— Sammy, age 13
The part parents notice.
Sammy was in so much trouble I was going to cancel his birthday, and he said "go ahead and cancel my birthday, but don't take away my writing groups."
— Brandon, Sammy's Dad
"His grades in History and English go up a letter grade. When I asked him what happened, he said "It's so much easier to write now, since I'm writing so much in my groups."
— Anonymous Parent (so their child is not embarrassed)
A club disguised as a writing class.
