This is the hardback version of Starting a Story.
Starting a Story helps growing writers turn their ideas into real stories with a beginning, middle, and end. Through simple language, playful rhymes, and clear examples, this book shows how every story has:
- A beginning, middle and end
- A problem and solution
- Characters and setting
Perfect for kindergarten, first, or second grade, Starting a Story guides students as they learn to write true personal narratives, stories about something they’ve really done or experienced.
Part of the Growing Writers series, Starting a Story follows Starting a Sentence and helps children take the next big leap: writing full stories of their own!
