FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON - “Simple Writing Activities Inspired by Picture Books SAMPLE SET”

by Lisa Rombach
Kindergarten - 2nd Grade



Great picture books can be the inspiration for a simple writing activity in your grade 1 or 2 classroom. This file contains a teacher's notes page and 2 writing prompts inspired by the picture books; The Cat in the Hat and Miss Nelson Is Missing. After repeated readings of a book, the students will be ready to do some simple writing activities, drawing on the background they've acquired by listening to & reading the picture book. Each writing prompt is on a 2 page document with an illustration area at the bottom of the second page. The activity could also be used in a literacy center! More Simple Writing Activities Inspired by Picture Books are available and each one contains 5 writing prompts. If you like these writing activities, check out my Mother's Day Cloze Letters (3 versions) Primary Grades (a special writing/drawing activity that will make a great keepsake Mother's Day gift!!) and All About Eggs (a cloze sentence writing activity for Easter). Have fun reading and writing! Lisa Rombach
