Writing Prompts for Kids
What are writing prompts and how can I use them in my homeschool?
Writing prompts are a great way for your child to practice their handwriting and creative writing skills at the same time.
Adding simple writing exercises to your homeschool lineup not only provides extra learning time for your little one, but it can also give mom a much-needed breather!
If your child isn’t a huge fan of handwriting, these simple writing prompts for kids can turn a mundane task into something exciting and fun!
The Importance of Writing Practice
First, let’s talk handwriting practice.
If your young homeschooler is anything like mine, they probably despise handwriting time!
With that said, handwriting is one of the most important things to include in your homeschool routine. Proper pencil grip and practicing correct letter formation are two essential steps to learning the basics of handwriting.
This is why I absolutely love leaning on simple handwriting programs like The Good and the Beautiful to teach the basics, while adding in fun extras like writing prompts.
Next, let’s talk creative writing practice.
Encouraging kids to practice their creative writing skills at a young age is so important!
Not only will this help prepare them for larger writing assignments as they move on to new grades, but it will also help them stretch those imagination muscles once in a while.
