Procedures: Read a non-fiction book about polar bears with your child and discuss polar bear facts. For a writing prompt, ask your child to write a scientific fact about a polar bear and its habitat. Encourage your child to use spaces between words, punctuation at the end of the sentence and to use letter-sounds that he hears in words. Then he will illustrate his story. Keep the journal in a safe place for his next story.
