Nurture literary arts talent

If you're looking ways to nurture talent in the literary arts, NAGC (National Association for Gifted Children) Arts Network is coming to the rescue.  Consult their one-pager on the topic.  (It reads a lot like Bertie Kingore's chart comparing gifted, creative, vs. high-achieving kids.)

eBooks for Grandma & Grandpa

4/16/2013

One of Del Siegle's ideas at our 2013 conference was to have kids create eBooks which can be sent (via email) to their Grandma and Grandpa.  Now you've got a "real audience" that will motivate the kids to do their best work. 

eBooks apps & websites come in different styles that work for various ages:
  • for the young ones, some let them color pictures
  • slightly older ones can write the words to narrate books that already have pictures
  • some are formatted to allow students to insert their own photos or digital art or text
  • the oldest kids may prefer free-form ebooks to unleash their creativity
Del's website includes his presentations, which lists many different apps available.  Just click on the link, then "conference handouts", then "eBooks".

Foreign language teachers:  your students can create children's books in their target language.  Where can you find an audience?   Is there an international school in your area where the young ones have to learn a foreign language?
