Description:

MyPictureStory.com provides an opportunity to personalize text and illustration of children's stories. Young visitors can be encouraged to read and tell stories by allowing them to name their own characters, add personalized touches, and most importantly, upload their own pictures. Children can also color the existing artwork for a story line. Although the free registration is necessary for saving the stories and sending them on to relatives, if you do not want to save your work, you can still enjoy your way through the stories. This site is a great starting point for home schoolers or plain old quality family time.

How You Can Use This Source:

Pull up a few chairs to the computer and enjoy making your child the author and the star of each story.
Practice basic counting and number recognition by stepping through the stories with page number links.
Lay the work aside and just enjoy reading a children's version of 'Romeo and Juliet'.
