"From Beads to a Masterpiece"

Students learn essential story elements as they become accomplished authors.  VoWac uses story writing to help students develop essay skills. Writing is a life-long necessary skill.

Teachers now receive training through our Level I workshop.  Workshop I now provides teaching strategies in story writing.  Graduate credit is also available.  Check the WORKSHOP & TRAINING SCHEDULE  for a session near you.
