Writing in kindergarten is always so much fun to teach. It is amazing to see how students are able to develop through the year and gain so much more confidence as writers. I often see students who in August, cannot even write their name, and by June are writing full stories with 4-5 sentences. Scaffolding your students learning is important to help them reach their fullest potential. We are able to do this through modeling, sharing the pen with your students and giving them independence to write on their own. It is important to help students reach their fullest potential. You can do this in your classroom by providing students with different opportunities to write. Students can write words, lists, stories and more! Write the room activities are great for the classroom. They give students the opportunity to increase their vocabulary and is a fun way for students to interact with the new words. We move from words to sentences. This provides the opportunity for students to help develop their writing skills, by using sight words and focus on correct spacing, capitalization and punctuation. Error analysis is a great activity in any classroom. For this activity, students find and correct errors in sentences. I focus on common errors students may be making in their writing. To reinforce using sight words, I love using sentence starters. I provide students the beginning of a sentence, they finish it and draw a picture to match. In addition to having students choose what they want to write about during a writing block, I also love giving students writing prompts. I support their writing by labeling pictures, to help students gain more confidence as writers and eliminate the "how do I spell...." This helps to get students writing creatively and encourage them as writers. Writing also teaches students to have a voice. From opinion writing to writing that has meaning, students are able to tell us something by their writing. Students can share their New Year goals for both home and school with this new years resolution writing activity (a link to this freebie is included at the end of the post) All of these resources work perfect to get you through the month of January and provide your students many different opportunities to develop as writers. They work great for literacy centers, as homework, or can easily be left for a sub. You can find all of these activities and more in my January Writing Prompts and Activities You can also find the New Year Goals Freebie here: Thank you for stopping by and I hope you found some helpful ways to encourage your early writers.
