Writing — Keeping My Kiddo Busy

Screen Shot 2021-07-07 at 7.13.20 PM.png

Welcome to our K-1 Writing Homepage

I am so excited to share my systematic, researched based approach to teaching primary students how to become confident, successful writers.

These nine units are perfect for both kindergarten and first grade writing instruction.

Many of the K-1 writing and language standards overlap, and I designed these lessons so you can easily differentiate the activities for your students.

Most of the activities included in each unit come with different levels of scaffolding.

This makes planning and prep work easy for you, and it ensures all children will be successful with their writing projects.
