‘Storybuilding with Imagination’, second in Imagination Series, uses proven techniques Debbie has developed and helps walk child through general principals of story writing. Following her lead helps child untangle confusing trail of mazes, and feel pride of a job well done. ‘Storybuilding with Imagination’ is written simply, visually and interactively, so that children can follow along, regardless of reading and writing capabilities.

Kid’s Writing Place could be called an Internet learning room where children are mused and/or become muse to others, helping to spark children’s imaginations and promote writing skills. Encouraging use of imagination helps a child build strength and courage, thus fostering a child’s self-image. At Kid’s Writing Place, children that are intimidated by that blank page can come and get story beginning ideas, or those that are full of ideas but just can’t seem to finish ending can get help with their ideas. Those that are well on their way to becoming next generation of authors can have their work read and critiqued by others. This not only enhances skill improvement but promotes interaction between others.

The goals of Kid’s Writing Place are to Foster Literacy through Imagination. This is achieved through interaction, cooperation and brainstorming of children working together and learning how to build on their ideas. This on-line forum was inspired by a writer’s fascination with ability to motivate creative process within children using their imagination.

“The kids of today are our future,’ says Designs by Debbie founder, “I believe that we are all capable of helping to improve our children’s futures, starting with their own imaginations.”
