1st Grade Writing Prompt Worksheets

Related ELA Standard: W.1.5

Students will now be able to work a little independently, when writing. Teachers need to be sure that students understand what is being asked of them by each of the prompts. I would encourage you to have a short discussion with your class. We can even progress towards the middle of the school year with trying to do this entirely on their own. Not all students will be there yet, so small groups can be used as well. These writing prompts will help youngsters ponder their everyday lives and discuss it in written form.

Creative Writing Projects for First Graders


It is essential to teach creative writing skills to the first graders. However, the skills of creative writing are only developed through practice. Here are some fun projects for the first graders to boost their creative writing skills.


Writing Letters

One of the best activities to boost the creative writing skills of first graders is to make them write letters. Letters are an easy way to build creative writing muscle. This is because they don't require a lot of effort. Writing letters often comes naturally. First graders will easily be able to write creative and fun letters. You can assign any topic to them regarding which they will be writing a letter. It is up to you if you want them to write a formal letter or an informal letter. Usually, informal letters are easier to write. Teach them the basic structure of an informal and formal letter so that they can write it properly.


Writing Prompts

First graders are old enough to start writing on prompts. Writing with prompts is a great way to begin mastering the skill of creative writing. However, as an instructor, you must keep in mind that first graders should not be given complex and difficult prompts. They should be taught step by step. That is why you should always search for prompts that are appropriate for young students. Here are some prompt ideas for the first graders.

Superpowers
Scary Story
Family Fun
Pet Stroy
After School


Worksheets


Another way to establish creative writing skills in young students is by making a customized worksheet. In this worksheet, you can write an entire story and leave some lines unfilled for the students. You can assign these worksheets to the students and ask them to read it thoroughly. Then fill the empty lines with whatever comes to their head.
