ELA, Writing, Grade 1, 2, Writing Prompts, Worksheets & Printables
So you are trying to set up your Writing Station so it can stand alone for awhile before you have to change the prompts. Does that sound like you? It was definitely me! So... I solved this problem by giving children a choice of a few prompts to write about and then changed them every so often. These Daily Journal Writing Activities are an easy way to encourage writing everyday. There are so many choices and posters that can be hung in your station to support young writers. In my opinion, this resource is all you will need for journal writing! I am so excited to have updated and completed this Set of Journal Prompts to Encourage Writing. This set is best for first and second grade. These journal writing prompts contain a plethora of writing ideas! Although this set is an update, I have added many more pages and changed the format, but I have also kept the former resource in the packet and Compiled the 2 resources together just incase the older resource’s format was more appealing to you! Ever since I started teaching 30+ years ago and encouraged my first graders as well as my own children to write letters to grandparents, thank you notes to friends and love ones and grocery lists for me, I have believed that every scribble had an intense meaning and when I would encourage my students or children to “read” back what their scribbles, labels, words and sentences said, the kiddos knew the meaning of these symbols, scribbles and letters! I am a firm believer that “Kid Writing” is an important piece of emergent reading and writing and the more you read, the better you read and vice versa! What’s Included: ✎Over 200 writing prompts with starter ideas with room for a picture and writing. ✎Covers and prompts categorized into the following sections: ✎All about School….16 pages ✎All about ME ………37 pages ✎All about Feelings...14 pages ✎Special Days ………23 pages of prompts that span from Halloween to Father’s Day ✎Seasons and Weather…….22 pages ✎Other Fun Writing Ideas …….13 pages ✎Letters, Notes, Lists, Memos and a few more….30 pages National Holidays to Write about…54 pages taking writing through January to December ⭐Pages are NOT numbered so you can differentiate for your student needs. ⭐Covers are included for each of the sections above. ⭐ Please note the section about Notes, Letters, Memos etc. may present a higher level of difficulty for younger students. ✎ An anchor Chart On How to Spell a Word. ✎ 5 small posters with words to help young writers.

Rather than contrived prompts disconnected from relevance, these lively snapshots of dogs making silly faces, kids mid-pratfall or quirky fictional scenes provide an springboard for open-ended interpretation. Young writers assess personality, circumstance, relationships and potential themes conveyed through comical frozen seconds. Pictures span pets in costumes to families giggling together on rides. While some offer presumed situational context, other images drop students into a decisive split-second lacking orientation to allow inference-drawing. Teachers strengthen critical thinking by asking students what’s happening in images and requesting evidence for claims from visual elements. This builds comprehension, evaluation and reasoning abilities beyond basic description. The collection includes four scaffolded writing templates per photo tailored to developing skills. Emerging writers invent zany photo captions or basic phrases. Advanced students draft multi-paragraph vignettes integrating setting, plot and characters using humor. This differentiated range accommodates wide ability levels. Emphasizing lasting themes of amusement and connection, these whimsical images nourish skills vital for academic and lifetime joy. Analyzing visual narratives, questioning assumptions, synthesizing perspectives, and articulating reactions in writing carry great utility far beyond ELA classrooms. This versatile kit sparks smiles while promoting creativity, critical thought and reflective writing around playful photographs.
