Write All Year K-2 Writing Bundle
Category: Education / Writing Prompts
144 picture writing prompts in 6 levels, 160 directed drawings, Write the Room, phonics cards and posters for K-2, in color and black & white.
A whole year of happy, low-prep writing time for K-2: every child writes about the same topic at their own level, with pictures, word banks and checklists that make writing feel easy.
HOW IT'S MADE
I designed this resource. The writing prompts and practice sentences were drafted with help from AI writing tools, then checked and edited by me. The pictures are open-licensed Noto emoji art and my own code-drawn illustrations. No AI-generated images are used.
