4.Start building sentences

Put words in the right order, add capital letters and periods, and finish short sentences with their own ideas.

5.Add a little more detail

Use describing words and familiar vocabulary to make simple sentences more interesting.

6.Finish with a tiny story

Choose a character, a place and something they find, then use those ideas to complete a three-part story.

What it helps kids practice

Writing gets easier when kids do not have to tackle everything at once.

  • Pencil control and letter formation.Tracing paths, copying letters and writing familiar words gives little hands gentle practice.
  • Vocabulary and spelling awareness.Short words, word banks and simple sound activities help connect spoken language with written words.
  • Sentence building.Kids practice word order, capital letters, periods and choosing words that make sense together.
  • Putting ideas into words.By the final pages, they are choosing their own ideas and turning them into a tiny story.

Ready, set… write!

A pencil, a printed page and a little room for ideas are all they need.

  • Choose your paper size.Download the US Letter (8.5 × 11 in) or A4 version that fits your home printer.
  • Print at 100% or Actual Size.Choose Actual Size or 100% so the tracing paths, writing spaces and activity layout stay at their intended size.
  • Pencil works best.There is plenty of writing, rewriting and trying again, so a pencil and eraser make a very good team.
  • Color is optional.None of the writing activities depend on color, so the worksheets work perfectly well printed in black and white.
  • Reprint the pages they enjoy.Some activities, especially the tracing, letters and short-word pages, can be useful more than once as confidence grows.

From “I don’t know what to write” to “One day…”

First a line. Then a word. Then a sentence. Then a story.

The activities give kids something to work with at every step: a path to trace, a word bank to choose from or a sentence starter to finish.

By the last page, those little supports have turned into their own ideas.
