Clip Art Press

 Clip art is a very flexible and fun staple to have available. Clip art is a great way to occupy the minds of children. It has always been a challenge to get children to read voluntarily. Clip art can help. It has been said if you want to be a great writer be a great reader, well if you are a child and don’t like to read than perhaps you would like to write about something that does interest you. 

Children can usually be extremely creative especially when prompted. Clip art is exactly what the doctor ordered. Any Clip art image can become the theme of a book. There is no real recipe needed for this activity, simply download interesting clip art from http://www.graphicsfactory.com/ and attach 3 or 4 pieces of age appropriate lined paper. Once the clip art is stapled to the paper cut it out to define the shape.

Encourage the children to let their imaginations wander and to choose their favorite clip art images and create a story. The object is to make the featured clip art part of the primary theme of the story. By encouraging freethinking and imagination, you may find that your students pick up books more often, even if only for inspiration. Great readers make great writers, great writers make great speakers and isn’t communication the key to success?
