How to write a story
To write a story, a kid needs a character who wants something, a problem in the way, and an ending where something changes. Plan it in three boxes first. Kubrio's free courses on voices, posters, and comics turn that plan into something with your kid's own words.
Your kid's story becomes something you can read, watch, or play.

Why it matters
A story is a plan with feelings in it. Kids who can say what their character wants and what stands in the way can plan almost anything.
Writing also gets easier when the story has somewhere to go. A kid writes more when the lines will be read out loud in their own film or comic.

Questions parents ask
- What age is story writing for?
- Kids 6 to 13. Six-year-olds can draw a story in three boxes and tell it out loud. Kids 9 to 13 can write a script with lines for each character.
- My kid hates writing. Where do we start?
- Start with pictures. Three boxes, one drawing each, and a sentence under each box. That is a whole story.
