High School 2025 August ELA Bell Ringers

As a homeschool mom, I know how important it is to start the school year with engaging, structured activities that foster critical thinking while being easy to implement. That is why I created these 21 high school English Language Arts (ELA) bell ringers for August 2025. These prompts are designed to help students/homeschoolers dive into daily writing and analysis with purpose and creativity. Whether you are teaching in a classroom or at your kitchen table, these bell ringers will keep your teens thinking deeply, writing consistently, and developing essential language skills from day one.

With consistent daily practice, students/homeschoolers build confidence and fluency in writing while developing critical reading skills that will serve students/homeschoolers in all academic areas. These bell ringers lay the foundation for advanced writing and interpretation, equipping students with the tools they need for future academic success—whether they’re college-bound or continuing their journey through homeschool.
