A Great Way To Encourage Children To Write!

The WCNY Treehouse Tales Young Writers & 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 to this year’s content.  Winning authors were recognized at an awards ceremony held at the DeWitt Barnes & Noble in April.  Winners received prizes and each author read their stories for the guests to enjoy.  All entries were acknowledged with a certificate of participation.

Congratulations to all of the students who entered the 2010 Treehouse Tales Young Writers & Illustrators Contest.  With over 275 entries submitted, we received many great stories.
