My Story Maker is a tool that helps kids write their own stories. Add characters and objects to the storyboard, and click them to add actions. A basic story will be automatically written, and the students can then change the text with adjectives and other descriptive words.
When the story is finished, you can print it or link to a PDF version of the book.
You will find a variety of characters to add to your story, including a scientist, a mermaid, a ghost, a dragon, a dinosaur, a robot and many, many more. Settings include a desert, a sea, the moon, a forest, a room and more.
My Story Maker was created by Carnegie Library. No registration or download is required - just click and start writing your story straight away! A fun and interactive way to improve children’s writing skills!

I found this site which is very simple to use. You can create a comic strip using the images they have provided. What is clever is you can scale the images and over lap them. Simple but fun. This site would make a good addition to your writing programme.
