We Read Our Own Stories: Children Write for Children

We Read Our Own Stories: Children Write for Children was compiled and edited by Dr. Nina Zaragoza, creator of the highly successful T.A.G.™ program, an innovative writing method which  teaches children of all ages and abilities to be published authors. This anthology contains stories written by young authors from around the world. Some are from China, Russia, Ecuador, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Haiti and the United States.  Many now live in the United States in places that include Brooklyn, Bronx, Miami, and Michigan. 

The youngest contributing author is three years old and the oldest is 13. Their urban stories reflect a diverse cultural landscape, and at the same time celebrates a unifying love of expression through creative writing. Over 100 short stories have been selected for this anthology with topics ranging from mysterious museum thieves, to wartime in Israel, to being stuck on the R subway train in New York City.

Whether enjoyed at home with family, or in the classroom, this anthology and the T.A.G.™ Young Authors Toolkit  are both useful resources for:

• Children of all reading levels aged 6-12
• Homeschool reading and writing curriculums
• Young author’s workshops
• Elementary creative writing or language arts classes
• Hi Lo readers and also reluctant readers

The young authors featured in We Read Our Own Stories: Children Write for Children were all students of the T.A.G.™ writing program .
