What educators are saying

I originally bought this to spruce up our independent writing center in March, but we quickly recognized it's potential for some incredible writing lessons! Our favorite was the "design your own cereal"! We made it a contest between all 2nd grade classes.
I used this resource for individual writing prompts. The students enjoyed all the topics. The resource is differentiated so I could meet individual needs.

Each writing prompt page can be printed front-to-back with an extra writing lines sheet to give young authors plenty of writing space.
