KS2/Y6 question, can anyone help with a website?

[lilibet]

My ds1 is 10 and will quite happily sit for hours playing maths games on the computer and has asked me for a site that will help him with his story writing as his teacher says that this is an area where he struggles.
Does anyone know of a site that could help him?

Is this any good, lilibet? I don't know if it has writing skills but it has a few English sections - I came across the site recently looking for something else!

[lilibet]

Thanks Janh, I'll let him have a look tomorrow!

Another one - this was a link from the bottom of the bbc page.

I've heard of young writers' clubs and found a few online:
Young Writer Online - a website for a real magazine
Stone Soup - another website to a real magazine

Hmm, those aren't what he's looking for are they?

How about something like Cyberkids or KidPub

And, as a resource, I found Purdue's Online Writing Lab There are others, but that's my alma mater.

Or this one? which has beginnings of stories by famous authors for children to finish. If they are in Y5 or Y6 they can enter the competition. Otherwise they can do it for fun.

This is not really an activity site, but I really like these hints/tips as to how to plan a great story. Caroline Lawrence's writing tips

PS Thanks everyone who's contributed here - some great sites I'm looking forward to exploring too
