Amazing Kids Amazing Venture

Thousands of schools across the US are responding to the reading and math testing requirements laid out in No Child Left Behind, President Bush's signature education law, by reducing class time spent on other subjects and, for some low-proficiency students, eliminating it.

While at Indonesia tiny tots got up to get their own publishing space built. Sashank a seven year old, second grader was upset he couldn't publish his writing for free in fancy websites without having to bring out his parents credit card.  He came up with this idea to build a free website that would provide a safe environment for their self expression. Today the website has kids from all over the world publishing and exchanging views here. They named it the Amazing Story Club.

The love for reading and writing comes to certain kids naturally. But the others can be conditioned to learn those skills quite effectively. If they have an aversion to the traditional media like paper and books, try the net. It works for "Today's Computer Savvy Generation". There are a few that also allow them to practice their writing skills. The normal mundane book reviews and narration take on a rather colorful look in this site.

The Amazing Story Club is a one such award winning non-commercial website that offers all this and much more free. So get the mouse clicking and the pencils writing. You may win their next Writing contest! Coming to think that it was a seven year old who came up with the idea, you can't help feeling dazed.
