Writing Prompt Journal, 45-Days Warm-Up, Editable #4

Ready to get your learners working in a more gentle on-ramp to your class time? Maybe your homeschool already includes instruction, but a gentle warm-up to your learners' writing instruction is a great way to keep them motivated to learn more!

It's recommended kids get 30 minutes of writing practice each day. Sometimes this seems overwhelming for the adults in the room, as it requires planning, formatting, and thoughtful composition. This resource has you covered! Choose to print or use the digital version.

Objective: Provide done-for-you writing prompts for both younger and older learners.

Formats: Use the provided PowerPoint format, or upload the PPT to Google Slides and have students respond by typing their responses. This is a great motivator for students who enjoy typing more than writing by hand. It also provides a more streamlined checking feature for teachers and supervising adults.

Grades: Designed for native speakers in grades 2-5, but applicable for learners in grades 6-12 who are beginning their English-learning journey.

Variations: This resource is also available in French and Spanish.

What you'll get: This resource contains a PowerPoint file with 64 pages. It also has instructions, spaces for writing, and a certificate of completion.
