This is a great tool for students to create stories and share them with anyone they choose to share it with.

I would recommend it to every classroom teacher – it’s great to be able to publish books without going through all the expenses of printing it.

Story Bird couples gorgeous artwork and student writing to create short stories, poems, or cards. Students choose one of the captivating images, then creates a story based on the image. The completed story can then be printed or shared online with family and friends. The colors and visuals on this site are rich and vibrant, so the finished product always looks professional. The sample stories alone are enough to inspire creativity and discussion among students.
