Helping Young Storytellers

We offer a range of programs for educators and learners, from one-hour short workshops to multi-day story-making extravaganzas!

Many of our community partner programs are offered at no charge. When we do have to charge a fee, we aim to keep the cost of our programming low for everyone. (We also have a limited number of bursaries available for those in need. Please contact us if you want to learn more about bursaries).

Learning Resources and Guides

The Story Studio Writing Society began in 2011 with the hope of bringing creativity and confidence into children’s lives by giving them the tools to tell stories of their own, in their own words and with their own illustrations.

Notes for Parents

All the resources in the Learn section are meant to be used by kids roughly between the ages of 5 and 13 – but some will require help with reading the instructions. You can also help young writers with scribing – writing or typing the words of the story as they dictate it to you. Download our Grown-Up’s Guide to learn more.

Notes for Educators

We’ve designed our programs and materials for students in Grades K-6. Younger writers may need a little extra help with both reading and writing. You can download the Educator’s Guide that provides lesson plans linked to the StorySheets to the British Columbia’s new curriculum.
