Writing curriculum help

Hi,

I am looking for an informal writing curriculum for my 8-1/2 yro son. He is doing oral narration and copywork right now and enjoys it, but I would also like to expose him to simple book reports, journal writing, etc., as he seems to enjoy putting his thoughts down on paper and composing written work. Any thoughts or suggestions? Also, has anyone used ‘Story Starters’ by Karen Andreola, and, if so, would you recommend it?

Thanks,

Michelle
