Simply Sentences – Summer No Prep Writing Practice

Item description

These pages will provide your students with easy and quick writing practice!

Have students color each picture (quickly!) and then write a sentence to go with each picture. Young students can write simple sentences while older students can include more details. If students struggle to think of something to write, encourage them to look at the details in the pictures (colors used, body parts, objects, etc.). You may even have them add details to the pictures (add a ground, sky, flowers, other small details, etc.). One word has been included for each picture to help students not get “stuck” on how to spell it themselves.
