Open-Ended Writing Activities for Children By Linda Polon. Open-ended story starters make writing stories seem like irresistible fun. "Look at the picture and write a short story with three or more sentences. Write a title for your story. Do not forget to color the picture!"

Each book offers more than 80 story starters. Grades 1–6. 8½" x 11". Good Year. 96 pages each. ©1998. Learn More

More than 80 fun-filled, open-ended story starters get children writing with ease! Each story starter is keyed to a specific writing skill such as adjectives, pronouns, contractions, and adverbs.
