“I can write about outer space.”
Objective: To use inventive writing to write a story. (W.K.2)
Materials: journal, pencil, crayons
Procedures: Talk about things in outer space that an astronaut might see from a space shuttle. For this writing prompt, ask your child to write about something she might see in outer space. Encourage her to use spaces between words, punctuation at the end of the sentence and to use letter-sounds that she hears in words. Write the real words under her sentence. Then she will illustrate her story.
Conclusion: Have your child read her story to you again. Talk about her great illustrations and how much you enjoyed reading her story.
