First-grade writing prompts are a great way to help first graders not only practice their handwriting but also get them thinking on a deeper level and organizing their thoughts on paper. I use quite a few first-grade-level writing prompts in my library after reading a book to my students and I always love to read what my students come up with about certain topics. Some of their answers can be pretty stinkin’ cute! I’ve been known to save a few just because they make me smile!

These topics are so fun and I know your kids will enjoy writing about them! students could also practice their presentation skills by volunteering to read their work aloud to their classmates. Doing this at home? No problem! Give your child your undivided attention and let them practice their speaking skills!
Each sheet has a first grade writing prompt, a colorful picture to go along with the topic, and plenty of room for little hands just learning how to write sentences.
