Story Jumper

Creating your own children's book is super easy with StoryJumper! There is a story starter that walks students through the important components of a story to create a detailed outline. Once the outline is created, students can use the provided props, scenes and text, or upload their own pictures to create a book. StoryJumper also has templates that have the beginning of a story created and students can provide the ending. There are even completed books that can be read online.
