The Ultimate Mystery Writing Guide For Kids Kindle Edition

5.0 out of 5 stars 4 ratings

This guide is designed for children 8-12 years of age who are interested in writing their own mysteries. National Board Certified elementary school teacher and award-winning author Steve Reifman takes young writers step-by-step from the beginning of the writing process to the end and helps them craft stories that will keep readers guessing and on the edge of their seats. It doesn’t matter whether students are already seasoned mystery writers or brand new to the genre. This informative guide promises to take children’s writing skills to the next level. Reifman combines his teaching expertise with numerous examples from his book Chase Against Time to teach students about crimes, crime solvers, suspects, motives, clues, witnesses, alibis, red herrings, and all the other elements that make mysteries so much fun to read and write.

The guide features:
*Easy-to-follow lessons that offer the ultimate in engagement and the ultimate in convenience
*Quality instruction from a National Board Certified teacher and award-winning children's author
*An emphasis on valuable writing habits, such as perseverance, pride, and paying attention to detail
*The larger goal of encouraging children to enjoy the writing process and develop a passion for reading and writing
*Access to a free PDF copy of the guide to allow children the option of completing all the lessons in the guide itself

    Reviewed in Australia on October 24, 2016
    This is excellent with the workbook - which has blank lines that you can fill-in as your mystery builds.
    It is set at a lower level than it needed to be. This is a genuine learning tool. It has clear steps. You can put your story down on paper or on your computer in a direct way as you build it.
    It could do with a refresh.
    I purchased it originally as a Udemy program and this book can be used open on your desk as you go through the Udemy program.
