Think It Ink It Publishing is designed to inspire children of all ages to practice creative writing in a way that entertains, educates, and promotes self-esteem.
- Children are born storytellers.
- Becoming a better writer means becoming a better reader.
- Practicing writing is the key to getting better at writing.
- The more we practice reading and writing with children, the more literate they will become.
- Studies show that school-aged children who write well excel in almost every subject.
- A child who likes to write usually has something important to say.
- In many states, standardized test requirements include a writing component.
- Many teachers and kids say that time for creative writing has been cut in their schools.
- While researching the concept behind Think It Ink It, children assured us that they loved writing creatively. We belive that children need and want the opportunity to practice and participate in creative writing experiences.
- One 7 year old said, “I liked to get to write my own story and think about the pictures and make it funny and nice.”
- When asked, “Would you like to have it published”? One 8 year old said, “Cool – better than cool”!
- Empower children to believe in themselves as writers.
- Provide an entertaining way for children to practice a skill that is an important part of their literacy development.
- Support adults in their desire to help their child find their “inner author.”
- Provide the opportunity for children to team up with a professional illustrator to work on an authentic publishing project.
- Read published work by children!
