Tell Me…

 

Are you tired of searching on TPT, Pinterest, or Google for writing prompts? Are you sick of wasting hours of your free time?

This is well over a year’s worth of writing prompts (yes, 200 prompts)! You can get your evenings and weekends back because you don’t need to look for a writing worksheet for your next whole group writing lesson again!

 

Are you exhausted with planning writing activities for centers, morning work, homework, or early finishers?

You can grab these prompts and use them as a writing center, no prep morning work, fun homework, or engaging early finishers. If you use these prompts weekly, that’s the whole year sorted!

 

Do you wish you could find fun writing prompts to keep your students engaged?

There’s nothing worse than when your students hate writing lessons. These writing prompts are full of fun and exciting topics for students. Whether they’re writing about dragons, pizza, or superpowers, they’re sure to be engaged!

 

You have a wide range of writing abilities in your class. Are you frustrated with activities that have no differentiation?

I bet you have some students struggling to write a sentence, but others writing a whole page. Don’t worry! There’s something for everyone with these resources. Your students can work on the same prompt, but have the support they need (through the scaffolded options).

 

Do you resent finding prompts that can only be used with one grade level? What would happen if you move from kindergarten to 3rd grade?

Whether you’re teaching kindergarten, first grade, second grade, or third grade, you can use these prompts. You could even use the 10 lined and full lined pages in 4th or 5th grade! You can rest assured that even if you change grade levels, these resources can be used. They will be valuable for YEARS to come!

 

Okay, so now you know that these aren’t just any old writing prompts. They are engaging, differentiated, and super time saving!

 

But here’s a few other awesome things to know about these differentiated writing prompts:

• There is cute clip art to color in and space for students to draw a picture.
• There is a writing checklist at the bottom of each page (reminding students about finger spaces, capital letters, punctuation, writing neatly, checking work, and sounding out words).
• There are multiple planning pages included.
• There are blank templates (in case you or you students want to write your own prompt).
• There are extra full lined writing pages, in case your students want to write more.

 

The differentiation

One of the reasons that these prompts are so valuable is that each of the 150 prompts is offered in 12 versions!

There are 4 dotted, 5 dotted, 7 plain, and 10 plain lines to choose from.

Also, there are 3 options for each line style (sentence frames, dotted sentence frames, and completely blank).

This huge amount of differentiation should allow you to cater to all of your students. Some students may thrive with just 4 dotted lines and scaffolding, whereas other students may benefit from 10 plain lines with no sentence frames to support them.

Each resource also comes in 2 document versions, to make printing easier. The pages are sorted by prompt in one version (for example, this is great if you are going to use only one prompt in a whole group lesson but want to print different versions, as some students need 4 dotted lines and others need 10 plain lines).

Then, in the other version, the pages are sorted by line style/scaffolding (for example, this is great if you are setting up centers and want to print all 50 prompts in 4 dotted lines with sentence frames).
