Young Authors Program

Capital Day School students in first through eighth grades participate in a Young Authors program in which they write and publish their original stories. The program is a celebration of writing and allows the students to see themselves as authors. The Young Authors program gives students experience in writing, revising, and editing and encourages the students to be creative thinkers.

Students write their first drafts using time in English class. They edit and revise their work and create and illustrate their own books. There will be a first place and honorable mention award in each class chosen by the students and a Teachers’ Choice award.
