Picture Writing Prompts with Sequencing Cards for Daily Writing

(0)
These picture writing prompts with sequencing cards are great for young writers who need more support in early writing. Your students get an opportunity to use their visual discrimination skills to help them pay attention to details in pictures. They will write sentences about the picture. They also get to colour their pictures and sequence the sheets to create their own little book as a keepsake. Simply print the page/s and review the directions with them. Encourage them to write one or two sentences that describe the picture on any given sheet. I also included a blank writing sheet for extended writing should it be necessary. The sheets are great for homework or small group work in which case they can each be given a different page to prepare a group book instead.The picture cards can be laminated and sequenced first and the sheets can be ordered accordingly to match them. I included little circles on the cards where students can write the number in the sequence with dry erase markers. Individually, your students can work on one writing scenario at a time. The writing scenarios are:- Getting ready for school Getting ready for bed Washing my hands Packing a lunch Making Jelly Toast Crossing the street At Lunchtime Setting the table Washing the dishes Starting the School Day Making my Breakfast Cleaning my bedroom

Prereading Strategy for Nonfiction Texts- THIEVES

Prereading Strategy for Nonfiction Texts- THIEVES

(0)
How can your students get meaning from nonfiction texts? This can be done by checking for THIEVES. THIEVES is an active prereading strategy that allows students to skim and scan then summarise the information from informational texts before they actually begin reading the text. The acronym is explained as: “T” for title, “H” for headings, “I” for introduction, “E” for every first sentence, “V” for visuals and vocabulary, “E” for end of chapter questions, and “S” for summary. Your students can use this strategy to preview textbooks and other informational texts when they do not have an opportunity to read the entire selection. Although this is very useful remind your students that making time for the full reading of a text is the better way to go!
