Beginning Writing Journal

It is so exciting to see kids beginning to write. They have such creative minds, so much to say, and when they can finally express it in writing, it is so much fun to see!

This is why I created the Beginning Writing Journals. This is a way to document progress and growth over the course of a school year. Each month will have 20 journal prompts. These prompts will be over a wide range of topics and types of writing.

For most of the prompts there will be two levels to support writers. One version with more lines to write on, and one version with more space to illustrate their thoughts. ALL prompts have a picture/word bank to support writers thinking and spelling.


Each month there will be narrative writing prompts.

Students will also get to practice writing letters.

Creative writing is my sons absolute favorite. My plan with these is to let him write as much as he desires, and then scribe the rest for him. I know he will come up with the most hilarious stories, and I will love looking back on these one day.

Each month will have writing list prompts.

Also information writing prompts will be included. This is another favorite for my son. I'm not sure where he has obtained all this content knowledge, but he always has so much to say for these prompts.

Even beginning writers can write How To prompts!

Labeling prompts will be included each month!

I cannot wait to use these this year with my son, and I hope you enjoy them as well. This bundle has a WHOLE YEAR of writing prompts (August- May)! 

You can find the Beginning Writing Journals in my TPT Shop!
