A wonderful website recommended at the Digital MegaMeet. Watch as your pupils become intrinsically motivated to continue their story into a book by drawing, including text, creating scenes, change page colour and add on pages. Why not allow you pupil to publish their own book in your classroom by printing out their personalised book when finished.
