Summer Elementary Picture Prompts
To make summer writing more enjoyable, follow these tips:
Let your kids write with a pen. Our favorites are erasable gel pens! They don’t smudge and smear like the erasable pens from my middle school years. My daughter likes to change colors as she writes each new paragraph, and I like that there are no scribbled out mistakes.
Don’t edit and/or proofread summer writing assignments. Just let your kids write. At the beginning of the coming school year, have your child pick a piece to edit and publish. You can go through the whole editing, revising, rewriting process at this time. This eliminates the stress that comes with producing a perfect piece each time.
preparing the pages
These writing prompts are super easy to prepare. Just print and go! You can print the pages back-to-back or you can print them one-sided. That is up to you.
You can also print extra “second” pages if you have a child who really likes to write and needs more lines.
What’s included?
In this packet of picture prompts, you’ll receive four unique prompts. Each prompt is a picture only – no words. The top half of the page is a picture, and the bottom is lined for writing. There is also a second lined page for each prompt. You’ll get the following prompts:
- young lady in a floatie in the water
- boy on the beach carrying a camera and a surfboard
- boy and girl with bug jars
- mermaids and a treasure chest
