The Children’s Book Challenge is provided by your local electric cooperative, one of many things they do to empower the communities they serve.
Educators and teachers have the option of using the free digital platform StoryJumper to create their books.
Teachers should sign up for a free account and become familiar with the options available and functions. StoryJumper provides detailed guidance for educators.
Here are a few more tutorial videos to help with creating a book in StoryJumper
Students can create and submit paper versions of their books.
Contact your local cooperative to acquire the blank books used for submission.
Students are encouraged to collaborate with their classmates to plan the following elements: characters, challenges, motivation, setting, obstacles, climax, and resolution.
Keep your original artwork throughout the process of working with StoryJumper. We may request it for further publication.
No matter the theme or the medium, students from across South Carolina have created some outstanding stories through the Children’s Book Challenge. There’s been peril, adventure, heroes, talking windmills, electric eels and much more. Check out the digital editions of our previous winners or find one in your school library.
Explore and research your local electric cooperative office.
Students can contact the cooperative by a remote meeting, phone, email, or in person. Your local cooperative information will be provided to you shortly after registration.
When students are finished writing and illustrating their book(s), submit to your designated electric co-op contact by the deadline.
