The Original TV Show

The Story Train began in classrooms — guiding students through every step of the writing process. The cable television program was the grand finale: Step 5, Publishing. Children who had brainstormed, written their rough draft/sloppy copy, revised, and edited their stories got to read them aloud on live cable TV for the whole community to see. That moment of real-world publishing transformed how students felt about writing.

"Not only are you encouraging kids to write, but you've given them — via the web site and cable show — a place to showcase their work… It was just wonderful watching your students read their stories and take questions from the audience! Those are the kinds of experiences that can really enhance a child's success in school."
