After reading the book, Mat, I thought a good writing prompt would be to write about a recipe! Your child can get pretty creative on this one!
Around the World – Lesson 13
“I can write a story.”
Objective: To use inventive writing to write a story. (W.K.1)
Materials: journal, pencil, crayons
Procedures: Talk about the ingredients in Mat’s soup. For a writing prompt, ask your child to write about what she would put in her soup to make it delicious! Encourage your child to use spaces between words, punctuation at the end of the sentence and to use any letter-sounds that she hears in words. Then she will illustrate her story. Keep the journal in a safe place for her next story.
Conclusion: Have your child read her story to you again. Talk about her great illustrations and how she made you hungry for soup!
