Writing Independent Work Packet (by rating)

When it comes to writing, suggesting prompts can be extremely helpful for students. By providing a prompt, you can give students a specific topic or area to focus on, which can help them better organize their thoughts and ideas. Additionally, writing prompts can help spark creativity and encourage students to think outside the box.

There are six Christmas-themed writing prompts, with coordinating primary handwriting pages included. Students can also illustrate a scene in the space above their writing.

Not only will using writing prompts help get your students excited about writing, but it will also help them to practice and improve their skills. By focusing on specific areas such as grammar, punctuation, and spelling, your students will hone their technique and produce well-written pieces of work. They’ll also be able to develop their unique voice and style – something essential for any writer!
