5.0 out of 5 stars Great Tool, September 13, 2000

Aimee (San Antonio, TX USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Story Stretchers for the Primary Grades: Activities to Expand Children's Favorite Books (Paperback)

I've used Story Stretchers both with the children I've homeschooled and with students in creative writing classes. The activities are an excellent tool for teaching basic writing skills, and they really encourage kids to enjoy reading. The units are well-organized and easy to follow.
