I recently found a writing web site for kids - Reach for the Stars! Kids can join a free writing club. You can download a sample Reach for the Stars writing workbook. You can also sign up for a monthly newsletter - Launch Pad - that will deliver story starters, a photo to caption, grammar help, reader's stories,and web links.
The Reach for the Stars writing workbook was published in May and is available for purchase on the web site for $18.95. According to the web site, the sample workbook has a lot in it that students can benefit from. Try it, and if you like it you can purchase the full workbook for more!

Hi! I am Felice Gerwitz the publisher of the Reach for the Stars book, from Media Angels, Inc. Thanks so much for letting your readers know about this wonderful book! The sample is just that, a sample. The full book has so much more for your children. A step by step how to write fiction! Please contact me at felice@mediaangels.com if you have any other questions. And, what a surprise to see this great post and blog.
I'm glad you stopped by, Ms. Gerwitz! I changed the wording in my post, after I realized how it sounded. At the time of the post we had not tried your sample workbook (to tell you the truth, we still haven't, but are still enjoying our summer break!). However, it did seem as if it would be a fun thing for children to do. I'm always looking for reasonably-priced materials for homeschoolers and classroom teachers as well. The economy has hit many school districts hard, and I have communicated with several classroom teachers that are looking for materials. I have your link in my sidebar under "Writing Instruction" - so, hopefully, people will find your site and use your materials.
