My son wants to become an author, and he is writing a book for grades 3-5. How much words should it be?
So far, he has written 5,109 words.
My child is writing a chapter book, just a heads up. And he's writing a book for grades 3-5 NOT ages 3-5.

Answer
The best way to figure that is that the number of pages in a book is based on 250 words per page. So if you are looking at 100 pages, multiply that by 250. The best answer, and the answer that I always give, is that the correct number of words for a book is the number of words it takes you to tell the story. After you are finished and have an editor, choose one who works with children's books. They will know better how to tailor the story for the appropriate age group and make cuts and changes accordingly. For now, just write the book until the story is told. Pax - C

ATHEISTS, Why do you keep forcing your beliefs into our childrens school system?

I keep hearing about how atheist judges and regents are attempting to change history text books for grades 5-12 basically omitting any and all religious history. I also hear about how atheists are trying to indoctrinate children into their religion by forcing open discrimination against religion inside the class room.
Why are you atheists doing this crap?
