The link I selected is Tikatok™. Tikatok allows students, at any grade level, to transform their imaginations into stories and then publish those stories into books. First, the stories are written and then students create their illustrations. The illustrations are scanned and uploaded. At this point, the final project is ready for printing! While there is not cost to joint the site, there is a $20 fee to purchase the work in hardcover or paperback format. This website is designed to be used as part of a writing project in which students can create stories. The overarching goal of this website is to motivate and scaffold storytelling in children.
Tikatok…
- Provides database of hundreds of interactive story prompts that help a child get started in the writing process and get help when they need it.
- Connects kids to a community of passionate storytellers like themselves, but in a safe and parent-moderated environment.
- Helps motive students to write.
- Can turn a child’s stories into real printed books that can be shared with families. Students build a sense of pride and confidence in their own writing abilities and in return the want to continue writing and creating.
