We are looking for children’s story writer who can write short funny phonics stories. The stories are for children that are learning English as a second language. We want to build children’s reading skills as well as speaking skills. We would prefer to present the story in a dialog format. We would also like the writer to use present tense only, and avoid using past tense.
The whole series has six levels. We have completed two levels already. We are currently looking for long term writers to work with. The writer should provide us with funny phonics stories for our Level 3 to 6.
We will provide the requirements for each level:
1. Number of stories per level
2. A list of phonics words
3. Word count per page and total word count per story.
This is the sample of the first story for Level Three. The “a_e†vowels story
“a_e†vowels word list:
ape, bake, cake, chase, date, game, gate, grape, lake, make, name, plane, plate, save, shake, take, tape

I am a mother of 4, so I know the importance of teaching them key words and sounds of each words. I believe I'd do well at writing short stories to help them with these types of words. I've attached your sample story in a private message. Thank you for your consideration.
My bid is for all four levels. I am an experienced writer for children and I have also written English exercises for textbooks, so this is a simple project for me. See my sample in pm.
I am a highly experienced high school English teacher and native English speaker. I would be happy to write funny stories for your English language learners.
My bid is for stories for 4 levels - $35 per level.
I am honest and hardworking.
Please see my PM for a sample story.
