Scholastic.com| Activities: Kid Authors

Scholastic.com| Activities: Kid Authors: "Kids Are Authors is an annual competition open to Grades K-8 and is designed to encourage students to use their reading, writing, and artistic skills to create their own books.

Under the guidance of a project coordinator, children work in teams of three or more students to write and illustrate their own book. The creative process of working in teams helps provide a natural environment to practice editing, teamwork, and communication skills necessary for future success. All students involved get a sense of pride and accomplishment from submitting the team project.

Scholastic Book Fairs will publish the winning books and distribute them at Book Fairs throughout the country."
