In the middle are examples of additional curriculum you’ll receive on weeks 2-4. Finally, you can see our bonus gift: curriculum for early or struggling readers that includes English practice. In all, you receive about 50 pages a month.

Excellent Book-Creating, Scripture–Based Learning

Our mission is to plant the seeds of the Gospel. We do this by helping young believers grow in their faith as they write books and share them. Adults wishing to create and dive into Scripture are welcome too! These books are lovely gifts.

With your paid subscription, which is only $2 a month for the annual version, you receive:

  • Story Kits with scriptures designed to help your child write Christian children’s books. Get one new story kit the first week of every month.
  • Scripture-based reading and writing worksheets every week.
  • Time-saving tips on creating book layouts and using on-demand book-publishing options. These will help you create the book yourself. If you would rather not do that part, we have a low-cost SERVICE in which we’ll do it for you.
  • Fun, but easy ways to make video versions of your books.
  • Free Bonus: Bible-Based Reading and Phonics with English language Practice. You’ll receive 30 pages each month for the first 4 months of your subscription.

NOW is the time! Start working on your family’s first book soon, so you can finish in time to order copies for Christmas. These books are beautiful, meaningful gifts! Please choose a monthly or annual paid subscription to get your first story kit.

For ALL AGES: We made the story kits with little kids in mind, but of course, children’s books are usually written by adults. Grandparents can have fun writing a story about their grandchild’s favorite animal. Teens can learn about Scripture as they consider how to teach biblical concepts to smaller kids. Some of the additional curriculum is also at a higher level to help advanced readers and teenagers. Our hope is to provide book-writing projects that your family can engage in together.

By the way, since it takes time to carefully consider Scripture and write a good book, you can keep your extra story kits and use them later. For most families, a one-year subscription really provides two years worth of book-writing materials!

Who Can Benefit

PARENTS. Our story kits are designed to work as mostly independent study for kids who are old enough. We hope this can be a great weekend project for public school kids who need more faith-based projects. It can also be a great addition to homeschooling. Plus, these books are truly beautiful Christmas gifts.

KIDS WITH QUESTIONS. Writing a book is a great way to dive into faith-based questions. Sometimes it’s hard to articulate what we do not understand. Play–acting with a character to discover both questions and answers is a tried and true method used by educators. That’s exactly what we do when we write stories based on Scripture.

EARLY READERS AND STRUGGLING READERS. Reading is a process of learning phonics patterns while also memorizing. When kids write their own stories, they feel excited about them and remember what they wrote. However, they usually do not remember every single word. When they read and reread their own stories, they are assisted by remembering what they wanted to say, and yet they still need to sound out individual words. The reading process feels easier… and kids love rereading their own jokes and looking at the pictures they chose!

ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS. Our bonus gift, Bible-Based Reading and Phonics, was written for a particular special need in our family: adopted thirteen-year olds who had never been educated before! Our girls needed a simplified, repetitive approach, and fortunately, God gave them an adoptive mom with an English language and reading skills background. Learn more ABOUT US.
