5 Free Story Writing Websites For Kids

Writing a book is an adventure—Winston Churchill

I’m so excited to find these free writing websites for kids and share them with you. Often, kids say that they don’t like to write. These websites are sure to help them fuel their creativity and motivate them to write.

When I talk about writing, I am talking about the act of getting thoughts from your head onto paper. I’m not talking about handwriting. (Although, that is a valuable skill too.) These story writing websites for kids are a wonderful way for your children to publish their writing too.

  1. StoryJumperwebsites for kids

    This is a new website that allows your kids to create and illustrate books with ease. Once their stories are created, they can publish it. If you choose to have your child’s book published, there is a cost; however, creating a story using these fun tools is free.

  1. Scribblett

    This site was created by a mom that wanted to develop a program for her daughter that loved to write stories. It is a place that makes creating a story easy with the ability to share with others or purchase a finished product. You do have to create a user account that makes you a member. Becoming a member gives you free access to creating stories, comics, illustrations and the ability to publish your own work and make your own special products

  2. Little Write Brain writing websites for kids

    Your kids create their own story books by selecting characters and building the story. It is free, but requires a log in. Then, they give you the option to purchase your child’s published book. It is easy to use and you don’t have to purchase the books.

  3. FunEnglishGames

    This link takes you to an on-line story frame. Your kids select and theme and fill in the blanks. This takes away the task of thinking of a whole story on their own which is overwhelming for many kids.

  4. StoryboardThat writing websites for kids

    For free, your kids can create 2 stories a week. There are other options, but I like the free option, because your kids can write comics and create scenes to a movie and so much more. There are thousands of graphics to choose from.

Bonus: Comic Creator

Kids use the character, Arthur, to create a comic strip. They add their own dialogue and thought bubbles. It can be saved as a jpg file or printed. It is a great way to get your kids to get create as well as read. Age: Early Elementary

Be sure to check out these fabulous reading websites for kids too.

Have fun helping your children create a story. 🙂

Do you have a favorite writing website for kids? I’d love to know. 🙂

    This is amazing, thanks so much for this! My son loves to write stories and is actually going to be doing some guest posts for me on my blog so we’re both excited. It’s something for him to do while he is on summer break. Pinned this, I’m sure he will love using these resources 🙂

    Stopping by from the Friday Flash Blog and sooooo happy that I did! Oh my goodness! My daughter is a budding little author at the ripe age of 6 and she will LOVE these! I wrote a post not that long ago about creative websites and featured storyjumper, but I didn’t know about these other sites! Thanks so much! Have a great weekend! 🙂

      Hi Shannon.
      Yes. Storyjumper is great. Last year, a whole first grade group used it. They were so proud, and the families loved hearing their voices when they viewed their stories online. I love the online and hard copy options.
      Keep up the terrific work Shannon.
