This French Spring Writing Prompt resource is the fast and easy No-Prep way of adding a little boost to your writing program all while getting students to progress with their decoding and encoding skills. The vocabulary used in this resource seamlessly aligns with the Science of Reading progression recommended by many school boards and is in lock step with what is being promoted by IDAPEL and ONLit websites for teaching French language in today's classrooms.

You can find the full version here French Spring Writing Prompt!

Once you have a grasp on all the simple sounds in French, the magic happens when you get students writing. They don't even notice that all the words used are from their very own memory banks and are all decodable words from past lessons.

I love to hear about how you are using my resources in your classrooms and with your students. Feel free to follow my shop by clicking the green star beside my shop name. This way, you can find out when I publish new materials right at your fingertips!

Who can use this resource:

Teachers who are just getting accustomed to using strategies from the Science of Reading can use these simple texts to open up independent practice, small group evaluation, or up on a digital screen for whole group instruction and reading practice.

Make a set and send them home with students to build fluency in writing and confidence in writing strategies.

The prompts are designed to offer many variations for students to use their imaginations and to build confidence in their own writing.

Correction sheet is handy for use with a substitute as they can confidently assess students and command the lesson even when they are not assured of their French skills.

What grade level:

I personally use these texts with Grade 1 and Grade 2 students in French Immersion. I feel confident that students from K-3 will find these most useful and teachers can come back to the texts with any students who may be experiencing challenges in their French writing skills. Core French teachers will be sure to add the resource to their repertoire for Grades 4 to 6 as they learn to read and write at the Junior level.

Science of Reading:

These prompts are aligned with sounds being taught in any Science of Reading aligned curriculum. They are set up for student success based on the research for increasing writing proficiency and building student confidence in the classroom!

Once you have established the strategies for identifying sounds, initial sounds, and blending sounds, segmenting sounds, students will be able to use these self-driven passages on their own. What a great way to build learning autonomy!

• Pencil Grip: Tracing activities encourage students to hold a writing utensil correctly, developing a comfortable and efficient grip essential for future writing success.

Pre-Writing Skills

• Letter and Shape Recognition: Tracing introduces students to different shapes and letter formations, fostering familiarity and visual memory. This recognition is crucial for later independent writing and reading.
• Hand-Eye Coordination: Following visual cues to trace lines accurately improves hand-eye coordination, directly translating to writing fluency and letter formation.

Cognitive Development

• Concentration and Focus: Tracing requires focused attention to stay within the lines, enhancing concentration and maintaining focus on a task. These skills are vital for future academic success.
• Visual-Spatial Awareness: Tracing helps children understand spatial relationships between lines and shapes, developing visual-spatial awareness crucial for reading, writing, and problem-solving.

Emotional and Social Benefits

• Confidence and Self-Esteem: Completing tracing activities fosters a sense of accomplishment and boosts self-esteem, motivating students to continue learning and exploring.
• Creativity and Self-Expression: Tracing can be a playful and creative activity, allowing students to experiment with colors and patterns, fostering self-expression and a love for learning.

Word Tracing

• Letter Formation: Tracing words helps students solidify their understanding of letter shapes and proper letter formation, preparing them for independent writing.
• Vocabulary Development: Tracing familiar words reinforces their spelling and meaning while tracing new words introduces them to new vocabulary words in a fun and engaging way!

This tracing activity pack is a fun and engaging way to build skills and confidence for pre-writers!
