A Great Way To Encourage Children To Write!

The WCNY Treehouse Tales Young Writers and Illustrators Contest is an annual event that promotes literacy and creative expression by encouraging children to write and illustrate their own stories.  Students in First through Fourth Grade (1-4) submitted entries.  Winning authors were recognized at an awards ceremony held at WCNY on Monday, March 30, 2009.  Winners received prizes and each winning story was read by the author for the guests to enjoy.  All entries were acknowledged with a certificate of participation.

Congratulations to all of the students who entered the 2009 Treehouse Tales Young Writers & Illustrators Contest.  Below are the winning stories for each grade level.
