Writing Prompts
Very often our kids need as much guidance as they can get to take away the negative attitude they may have towards writing tasks. As a fun activity I created 'Spin, Select and Write' to bring possitivity to the writing experience. This resource contains color coded writing prompts and writing sheets along with a spin board for general topic selection. Simply print the pages, mount the spin board and print as many colored writing sheets for your paper pool. The prompt cards can be laminated, cut and placed in recycled aluminum tins or other containers. All your kiddos need to do is spin the arrow and choose prompt card of the same color that the arrow shows. They can choose the same color writing sheet to begin free writing.
**SUGGESTION** These writing sheets can be used also as your students first draft pieces. You can make each student rewrite the entire story that they began, correcting all grammar and punctuation mistakes. After they go through the other stages of the writing process they finally get to re-write them on new sheets and keep in a separate folder for publication.
I included blank slides so that you can create your own prompt cards.
This set of noun cards are great for reviewing the formation of nouns using verbs. The clear use of graphics can help your students to make connections between the verbs and the nouns. The noun endings are in red type to allow for easy visibility. This is a wonderful addition to any literacy center.

Although the poem may be difficult for some kids to read, its flow and rhyme makes it a great piece for guided reading activities.

My set includes the following;
2 Posters
24 sets of effect/cause cards
1 matching mat
1 mix and match writing sheet
1 blank printable for students to draw and write their own sentences
The matching capabilities and possible crazy sentences is all but funny and enjoyable. This is a fantastic addition to your literacy center and game corners.
