Writing Woods

  • Writing
  • Ages 5 to 12
  • Ten-minute quests

Every tree hides a story waiting to be written.

In Writing Woods kids build sentences word by word, fix Pip's punctuation slip-ups and grow paragraphs from story starters. Longer pieces are saved to their journal so you can read them together.

Writing Woods
Question 4 of 10

Which sentence is punctuated correctly?

Treasure! +10 XP and a star for Pip's collection.

Not quite. Here's a hint: A sentence starts with a capital, names start with a capital, and a question ends with "?".
