50 story starters of varying length to get young people writing. Story beginnings cover school, found objects, family secrets, fantasy, and animals. Give your young writer a head start and help getting started telling the stories in their minds. Imagination is the most powerful force in the universe. It allows us to dream and love. Stories are the way we share our imagination with others. Kids have fabulous imaginations but sometimes need a little help getting started telling their stories. As they are learning to tell stories they often need more than a prompt that says, "write about this." Story starters are the beginning of a real story, not just another command to write.
