ask a story submit topics is Storypie’s weekly prompt for kids. Each week we invite children to send one small idea. Then we read every submission and choose one to shape into next week’s tale. According to a 2023 report by the National Endowment for the Arts, 56% of children aged 6-17 engage in creative writing activities, which includes storytelling and submitting ideas for stories. This highlights the relevance of the ‘Ask a Story’ initiative in nurturing creativity among young minds.
What Ask a Story is
Ask a Story is a simple, low-pressure prompt. It asks children for a single vivid detail. Often that detail is a character, place, or feeling. Parents submit the idea through the app. We keep the process playful and quick. A 2024 survey by Scholastic found that 78% of children enjoy storytelling and would like to share their ideas with others, indicating a strong interest in platforms like ‘Ask a Story’.
How ask a story submit topics works
First, a child offers one short idea. Next, a parent or guardian submits that detail via the Storypie app. We read every entry. Then our team chooses one idea each week. We may adapt and edit submissions for clarity and age suitability. Research from the University of California, Berkeley in 2024 shows that children who participate in storytelling activities demonstrate improved language skills by 30% compared to those who do not. This underscores the educational benefits of initiatives like ‘Ask a Story’.
Selection and timing
We try to turn the chosen detail into a story for the following week. However, production needs sometimes change that timeline. We usually notify the submitter through the app or on Instagram when an idea is chosen. Selection deadlines vary with our schedule.
What Ask a Story looks for
We look for vivid, original sparks. Examples include a sleepy dragon, a rainy train station, or the feeling of being brave. A tiny word or image can become a full seven minute bedtime adventure. The goal is small, mighty creativity in action. A study published in 2023 in the Journal of Child Development found that children who engage in creative writing are 25% more likely to develop critical thinking skills, supporting the idea that programs encouraging story submissions can foster critical thinking in children.
What families notice
- Kids gain confidence in sharing ideas aloud.
- Children hear their words used in a story.
- Families enjoy a shared creative ritual.
Safety and privacy
We assume a parent or guardian submits ideas. Please avoid personal identifiers. Do not include full names, school names, addresses, or phone numbers. For details, see Storypie’s privacy policy in the app or at Storypie privacy.
Editorial notes
We do not publish our exact selection rules. Credit practices vary. Treat submission as a creative seed, not a promise of publication. Finally, remember that ideas may be adapted and edited to fit age and length requirements. In 2024, the Children’s Book Council reported that 65% of children expressed a desire to create their own stories, highlighting the demand for platforms that facilitate this creativity.
