If you struggle to get your kids to write in your homeschool, then you need this set of 101 writing prompts! When kids don’t know what to write or how to organize their sentences to make a cohesive paragraph, they can avoid writing altogether. We want to teach them the structure of a paragraph and how to write a topic sentence. Using the same format helps kids launch writing rather than getting stuck not knowing where to start. Once a kid knows the structure, they need loads of practice – just like memorizing math facts.
This set includes 2 graphic organizers to print and laminate for creating two levels of writing planning. The format stays the same so kids get familiar and comfortable that the expectations and structure don’t change. This set has so many writing prompts! Many kids will only write what they know about. Others like to look things up. This set provides many choices for topics that kids are familiar with or are curious about. The set can be your homeschool writing curriculum for a whole school year. Or use it until your student is able to quickly write a paragraph with ease.
The Teacher’s instruction pages give you information about why formatted paragraph writing is important for beginning writers. You will also find tips for teaching writing and ways to adapt the prompts for different settings and more advanced learners. I’ve used these with my own kids in homeschool and with my tutoring students with special needs. The list of prompts at the end make this set useful if you need ideas for a literacy writing center.
So much packed into a simple format that really gets kids writing! If you love this set of 111 pages, you will want my other formatted writing sets. Sign up to be notified when I upload new products and games!
