Writing Prompts

Please practice writing with your child as much as possible this year.  Writing seems to be a struggle for many First graders.  It is one of those 'practice makes perfect' type things.  The more you have your child write, review, and edit, the better writer he/she will become.

 

Here are some writing prompts to try at home:
