Last week I had a letter from a reader who asked my favourite platforms for creative literacy. I explained what I mean by creative literacy in Interview with The Book Chook - Creative Literacy. Here are three of my favourite free online platforms where kids and their supervising adults can create books online.

 

Storybird 

I wrote in detail about Storybird in Create Story with Storybird and used it to respond to my own prompt in Creative Prompt - Start with Illustrations. In a nutshell, at Storybird, kids can use pictures from adult illustrators, adding their own writing to match, and create a digital book.

 

Toon Doo Books

I wrote in detail about Toon Doo Books in Making a Book at Toon Doo. In a nutshell, at Toon Doo kids can compile a book of their single cartoons, made from Toon Doo's art work and templates, with children's own words added to speech bubbles.

 

Storyjumper 

I wrote about Storyjumper in Create a Story with StoryJumper. In a nutshell, kids use props, scenes etc from the site, and add text to make a digital book. They can also upload photos. (I notice you can now order single printed books, and pay for them, but US and Canada orders only.)
