Why use Writing Prompts?

If you have a reluctant writer or just want to add a little fun to your classroom, I highly recommend using writing prompts.

These fun topics to write about will certainly encourage the children to write more than normal. You could have a child who normally only writes a sentence or two, hand in a 3 page essay.

These are aimed at students in grades 2 – 5th grade, but of course, can be used for middle school students too.
