WRITING PROMPT WORKSHEETS BUILDS CONFIDENCE
If you’re anything like me, you can’t get enough of no prep writing prompts with pictures! Let’s face it…writing for our young learners is a challenging task and so it makes absolute sense to provide important scaffolds to inspire them to write – especially the reluctant writers in the classroom.
Since I began creating and using writing prompts in my writing lessons, writing centers and writer’s workshops – I have noticed a definite uptick in student motivation. All of a sudden, daily writing tasks have not become a chore or a bore. It’s become part of our routine and something my students look forwards to.
Writing sentences worksheets with picture prompts is super important for early writers as this strategy provides students with important writing scaffolds that help generate ideas and topic vocabulary. What’s more, it helps students understand what a properly structured sentence looks like. Writing with picture prompts worksheets, such as these no prep Sentence Building activities, will ensure that kindergarten, first grade and second grade students will have the confidence and vocabulary to independently construct simple sentences, learn about sentence structure and create a short text.
WRITING PROMPT WORKSHEETS COVER KEY WRITING SKILLS
Research shows that writing is a skill and just like any other skill, it requires daily targeted practice. Hence the best practice for writing is writing! An easy way to ensure that our students get as much practice as possible and hopefully on a daily basis, is by printing and providing a variety of writing worksheets around the room. Promote the craft of writing by encouraging your students to write as a fast finisher or extension task. Include also blank paper and have students write cards, postcards, letters to a peer!
