mag.amazing-kids.org
This is just about the coolest website for kids I've ever seen! It is an online magazine that is written by kids. There are fiction offerings including poetry and short stories, and nonfiction choices including stories, interviews, and book reviews. They have monthly contests that kids can send in submissions for, with the opportunity to have their work featured in the online magazine. Amazing Kids Magazine provides great opportunities for students to read and write. Having the chance to read pieces written by other kids can be extremely empowering for students and give them the motivation to do some writing of their own. In addition to the online publication, they also have a pen pal program that students can become a part of. The magazine itself is free, but there is a $10 per student cost for the pen pal program (teachers and groups of 15 or more get 50% off). I can't wait to introduce my students to this e-mag and hopefully motivate them to submit some stories of their own!
