Websites Where Kids Can Create Books

Experiencing success and enjoyment with writing is something we all want for our growing learners. The computer or tablet can be a great tool to get children writing. Here are two great websites where kids can make digital books. I always advise adult supervision when children use the Internet, but apart from safety concerns, our kids can learn a lot from carrying out these activities!

1. Storyjumper is a great website where kids can read stories written by other kids, as well as create and publish their own books. 

2. Storybird is so much fun! There's lots of stunning artwork from adult illustrators available, and members can use these works to illustrate their own stories.
