Prepare Your Children for Life
CoMMunication and Life Skills
Your child’s stories become the training ground for clear communication, creativity, critical thinking, and meaningful self-expression. Through fiction, students learn to think deeply, choose words intentionally, solve problems creatively, and express ideas clearly. These are the same skills needed for strong academic writing, leadership, and lifelong learning—and your child learns them while creating stories they love.
We are Designed to Create Stories
As God created us, we too are designed to create. Inside every child is a spark of imagination waiting to burst into life—new worlds to explore, fresh ideas to shape, and stories that only they can tell. When that God-given creativity is nurtured, it doesn’t just grow—it shines, filling their lives with joy, confidence, and a sense of purpose that lasts. Through storytelling, they discover how to give voice to their imagination, build empathy, and share their unique perspective with others. As they learn to shape their stories with skill and purpose, they gain more than writing ability—they gain confidence in who they are and the courage to express it. Our fiction writing system is designed to help your child unlock that gift and share it with the world.
Achievement
Writing and revising and sharing stories is so much more satisfying than simply earning good grades.
Experiencing Life
Your child feels the experiences they write. They can travel the world, meet other people, and learn to deal with new situations, all from their mind.
Release emotions
Writing fiction transforms those deep emotional places which otherwise stay hidden.
These courses do far more than simply make writing “fun.” They teach your child to think clearly and express ideas with purpose, using fiction as the training ground.
Students learn how to develop characters with real motivations—characters who want things, make decisions, face challenges, and grow. This builds an understanding of human nature, empathy, and perspective.
They learn how to shape a plot so that one event leads meaningfully to the next, helping them understand cause and effect, emotional pacing, and how to keep a reader truly engaged.
They practice writing dialogue that reveals personality and thought—not just words on a page, but communication with intention.
They learn how to build settings that allow the reader to experience the story world—learning to choose details thoughtfully, create mood, and show rather than simply tell.
In short, your student will learn how to make stories that feel real and meaningful, whether the setting is a historical village, a spaceship, a small town, or their own imagined world.
They won’t just write stories.
They’ll learn to communicate ideas, understand others, and express themselves with clarity and confidence.

Life Skills through Storytelling
As students learn to write fiction, they are doing much more than creating a story. They are practicing how to make thoughtful decisions, reflect on consequences, and understand why characters choose one path over another. This builds the habit of purposeful thinking—the ability to act with intention rather than guesswork.
They also learn how to shape ideas over time: planning, organizing, adjusting when something isn’t working, and following a project from beginning to end. These are core executive functioning skills that support maturity and independence.
Along the way, students develop the patience to stay with meaningful work, the resilience to revise and improve, and the confidence to express ideas that are truly their own. Fiction writing becomes a safe and engaging space where students practice creativity with direction, reflection with purpose, and imagination with clarity—skills that carry far beyond the writing desk.
Not just reading about decisions but creating them
Your child doesn’t just read about scenarios but creates their own dilemmas, conflicts, alternatives, and choices. By developing alternatives, analyzing pros and cons, and having their characters make hard choices, your child learns critical thinking skills themselves in a deeper, more meaningful way.
Critical Thinking Skills
-
Generating and Evaluating Ideas
-
Students brainstorm multiple possible plots, characters, or settings.
-
Critical thinking comes in when they analyze which ideas lead to deeper conflict, bigger impact, or more resonance with theme.
-
-
Cause and Effect Reasoning
-
“If my character does X, what logically follows?”
-
Students learn to trace consequences and spot weak links in the chain of events.
-
-
Comparing Perspectives
-
Switching POVs, or asking: “How does the antagonist see this situation differently?”
-
This builds empathy and tests story logic.
-
-
Identifying Assumptions
-
Example: “I assumed my character would accept the quest… but what if they refuse?”
-
Spotting hidden assumptions leads to richer, more surprising stories.
-
-
Evaluating Evidence (in a fictional sense)
-
Students weigh which details of setting, dialogue, or action prove the character’s emotions or the stakes of the plot, instead of just telling.
-
-
Problem Solving Under Constraints
-
Stories often run into “knots” (a plot hole, a character with no motivation). Critical thinking helps untangle these by testing multiple solutions.
-
-
Balancing Alternatives
-
Example: Should the story end tragically or triumphantly? Which ending fits the theme and creates the strongest reader response?
-

Writing Fiction Improves All Communication
Sharing Stories
Internal Motivation to Improve
Students WANT to learn Grammar, Punctuation, and Spelling rules
Learning all the communication writing rules is hard work. But when your child learns that those rules help keep their readers engaged in the story rather than being distracted by mistakes, they become motivated to apply the rules themselves. Their stories become better and they use the same rules in all of their communication.
Stories are powerful. Communicating stories with the right verb tenses and spelling and commas in the right places and so forth give friends the ability to read and enjoy the stories to the very end. That’s something that makes learning the rules really worthwhile right now.
Conceptual Thinking
Abstract into Tangible
Creating concepts and making them come alive requires operational thinking and planning. Those skills are hard to teach in other formats but are inherent to writing fiction.
Other Views
Creating complex characters, then looking at situations from antagonist’s view as well as protagonist’s perspective opens the ability to see the broader picture.
Confront Challenges
Creating realistic obstacles and plans to overcome requires the highest level of imagination and creativity. Plotting a story with unpredictability and excitement gives a depth of planning and execution.
Conflict Resolution
Sometimes you have to fight for what you believe. Sometimes you find a compromise. Fiction gives the ability to decide which, or even both.

Confidence
Understand Relationships and Empathy
Building realistic characters teaches the complexities of humans
Stories reveal relationships
Great characters are created with the same aspects of real people – goals, desires, motivations, strengths, faults, failures, successes, conflicts, and achievements. To understand the characters that are created, your child learns to understand and empathize with people who don’t always think and feel just like them.
Writing fiction stories allows your child to explore the difficulties and satisfaction of good relationships while identifying the signs of bad and advesarial relationships. Teamwork, perserverence, betrayal, reconciliation, breaking bonds, establishing unbreakable bonds – it’s all possible while writing fiction stories.
