Kids Own Writing!!!

Our products

We created notebooks that ask a series of questions that make kids think about elements and narrative of stories.

There are three kinds of writing products that we sell. We also have a paper on punctuation for younger kids.

“Write A Story,” or a “WAS,” recommended to grades kinder to first.
A longer “WAS,” recommended to grades second to third.
“Make A Comic” or a “MAC”, recommended to grades second and above.
In addition, another "MAC", mostly for first and below.

In WAS books, you will find a series of questions that will help your child build the body of a book as you answer. Then, you can add details to top it off.

In MAC comics, there will be a bunch of boxes and inside of each box there will be a word such as "Solution:", and description of what the word means. On the other side of the page, you will see the same boxes, but empty. Your job will be to fill them in with pictures and words.

KOW: From Idea to Business

About Us

I am a 8-year-old girl named Zoya, and a founder of the business Kids’Own Writing along with Noa. I am a second grader at the Khan Lab School (KLS) and started Kids Own Writing (KOW) to help early readers (K+) learn to have fun writing stories.

Side Effects Of Buying A KOW Product

By buying a KOW book, you will help us expand our business and put books in the hands of many more children farther away. If you buy a KOW product, you will also have a token that YOU helped buy millions more writing supplies for poorer schools, because KOW will be donating writing supplies to many schools. You will also be teaching your kid(s) about the joy and happiness of writing their own book/story!

Packaging

As you can see, we do not use any packaging other than 10-20 books a paper bag to transition from place to place and the paper bag can be recycled.

Uses

If you are interested in helping kids learn to and love writ(ing), why not gift them one of our notebooks? Our notebooks also make excellent goody bag and party favor gifts!

In Stock

We currently have some printed "Choose your own character" Start-up Stories in stock for 1 dollar. You can read stories written by some of early customers here. If you have any suggestions for our notebooks or would like to order some, please email to smruti@gmail.com

KLS Movers & Shakers Award

Kids’ Own Writing was honored (and surprised)with the Khan Lab School's Movers & Shakers Award “for showing great initiative in identifying a real-world problem that impacts many children and taking the initiative to make and sell prototypes of their product.”

Name Change

Now, those of you who have very observant eyes( or not) might be wondering why it our"Kids Love Writing" in the picture when our real name is Kids Own Writing. I'll explain... at first, when we started, we really considered having our name be Kids Love Writing, so much that when we had the competition, our name was Kids Love Writing. So, as you can see, the teachers awarded the award to Kids Love Writing instead of Kids Own Writing. A little while later, a friend mentioned a camp called "Adventures in Writing" who owned the name Kids Love Writing. I mean, how messed up is that? Imagine your last name is Writing and your parents make your first and middle name Kids Love. Then no one would be able to call you KIds Love Writing when the're mad at you because the camp owns the name.

How KOW Got Started

It all began when, in Term three, KLS (Khan Lab School) proclaimed the project to be “modeling a business model.”

One day, at my school, the teachers announced the project of the term. The project was to make a business plan model. I was partnered with Noa. I didn’t have a clue what to build our business plan around. Our teacher, Rachel, said to make it about something you loved. I asked Noa, and she said, “Well, I didn’t like writing at the beginning of the year. Maybe we could do something about that?”. We decided our product would be what you now know as Start-up Stories.

We decided to make and sell the product you know now as Start-up Stories. Noa is also an important team member of KOW.
