Elementary Writing Prompts
Adding Details to Sentences
ELA, Writing, Grammar, Language Development, Kindergarten, Grade 1, Worksheets & Printables, Writing Prompts, Activities, Centers
One important skill for students to learn is to write sentences. Sometimes students have difficulty adding details to sentences. This activity gets students to practice adding extra details to sentences by working with adjectives, adverbs, and prepositional phrases. By adding details to their sentences, students will write more interesting and engaging stories What is Included: This activity includes two practice pages where the additional details are already given to the student. Students will practice handwriting by tracing the sentences that show students how to add the details to the sentences. Also included are word cards (for nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and prepositional phrases) to help students come up with ideas to create their own sentences. Blank writing pages are also provided for students to write their own sentences by writing the details in each step. When to Use: Literacy or Writing Center - The worksheets and word cards can be placed in a literacy center for students to write interesting sentences. Morning Work - The teacher can give the students a simple sentence to start with and use the blank pages to add details to that sentence while their classmates arrive at class. Homework - The blank pages can be sent home for students to practice adding details with their parents. Skills Assessed: Students will practice adding more details to their sentences by adding descriptive language. The worksheets included in this resource are no-prep. They just need to be printed out and given to students to complete. The teacher may choose to give students a simple sentence to start with or the students can use the word cards to build a sentence. The word cards are low prep, needing to be printed and cut apart. The blank pages can be laminated to become a reusable write and wipe activity. The cards will store nicely in a task box.

Journal Prompts for Daily Writing
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. I can… I like…When I Grow Up I want to be…My Favorite thing to do…My Favorite Color… ✎ 64 original writing prompts from the older resource with starter ideas with room for a picture and writing ✎ One complete page with writing lines to run off 2-sided with prompts. This way if students want to write more they can. ✎ Cards with writing ideas, pictures and words to assist young writers. These I put in a basket or “Treasure Chest” to choose ideas. ✎ Ideas to last a LONG Time that are aligned with Common Core!! Ideas for Use: ✐Morning Work ✐Stations/Centers ✐Writing Workshop for special learners ✐To differentiate your writing files and support more reluctant writers in other ways. ✐To easily encourage Journal Writing. ✐For homework ✐Homeschool ✐For parents to support their children with write
