Monthly Writing Prompts for the School Year
Start the school year with a monthly writing journal for kids. Each month from September to June gives kids the opportunity to draw or color a picture and write short sentences. The prompts are easy for kids to understand and can include a wide range of answers. Included in the bundle:
- 1 Single page drawing/writing prompt for each month September-June
- Colorful Cover for the Journal
- Black and White Journal Cover for Kids to Color
Laminate the cover after it has been colored by students and bind the journal together. The monthly writing journal makes a great end of the year portfolio addition for classroom students, or a family memory book if your child is completing the journal at home.
