A free setting-writing adventure for kids

Sunny Street is Chapter 2 of the City of Creativity, a free online reading and writing world for children from United By Creativity. Kids explore a handmade neighborhood with Abuelo, the Neighborhood Storykeeper, find place clues, listen to the sounds of the street, and interview three neighbors: Ms. Rosa, who has lived there for years; a girl who loves books and games; and a family who just moved in.

For parents and educators

Children learn that a story setting is a place plus the people, sounds and needs in it. They ask questions, listen for what neighbors share, choose words as evidence, and write a short setting paragraph for their own book. Questions adjust from pre-K to grade 8, and the activity is available in English, French, Spanish and Luganda. Everything children type stays on their own device.
