This is a set of first grade opinion writing prompts designed to help you differentiate during writing time!

 

Each prompt comes with several graphic organizers, many options for drafting paper (with built-in scaffolds), and publishing/final draft paper.

 

The built in-scaffolds are included directly on the printable drafting papers. You can easily print out 2-3 versions of paper for the same prompt - and give different groups of students different types of paper, depending upon their needs.

 

The scaffolds include sentence starters, word banks, and self-assessment checklists.

 

Sentence starters are great for helping students structure their writing, use transition words, and write in complete sentences.

Word banks provide language and vocabulary support.

Self-assessment checklists help students learn to routinely self-assess their writing. They also help “fast finishers” slow down, edit, and revise their work!

 

Additionally, all graphic organizers and drafting papers include the prompt and a visual representation of the prompt to ensure that students understand the writing task.

 

The materials in this resource will:

- Allow you to quickly and easily differentiate your writing instruction

- Provide guidance and a consistent structure to help students learn the stages in the writing process

- Support English language learners, students with special needs, and struggling writers

- Help you cut down on planning time (these are all “print and go,” no prep resources!)

 

Here’s what’s included:

- 20 different opinion writing prompts designed for first grade students

- A full page poster for each prompt - great for introducing the prompt and/or creating bulletin board displays

- 1-3 graphic organizer options per prompt

- 14 different options for drafting paper per prompt (variations in the scaffolds provided, as well as the number of lines on the page)

- 2 different options for publishing or final draft paper per prompt

As a first year Kindergarten teacher, I was in a panic trying to figure out how to teach the foundations of reading. This club saved my sanity. Not only did I get structured plans but the advice and knowledge of how to apply it all and create my own lessons in the future. This club let me learn with others and improve myself as a teacher. Truly a blessing.

These games are great! I love that there is an assessment with it so I can really see what skills my students need more practice with. Once they learn the games they are able to do them independently as well.

The 1st & 2nd Grade Literacy Club is the perfect supplement for any teacher to up their literacy instruction. My students love the leveled monthly passages, and I love catching up on the recorded ones available through the website. I have used the Intervention Central resources to differentiate for individual students and small groups. I really can't say enough about the amazing resources and like-minded community!

FAQ

My file isn’t printing correctly. How do I fix this?

The vast majority of printing problems can be fixed with the “Print as Image” solution in Adobe Reader! Learn more about how to do that here HERE.

Where can I learn more about your literacy products and how to use them?

We have a free catalog that walks you through my main resources. It can help you decide which resources are right for you and your students! You can grab the catalog HERE.

I teach in a split-grade class (i.e. 1st and 2nd). How should I select products for my students?

Alison always recommends getting the lower of the two grade levels. So if you teach in a 1st and 2nd grade class, get a 1st grade version. You can always differentiate in small groups or 1:1 to challenge your more advanced students!

I teach in Canada and am looking to buy some of your literacy products. How does the Canadian curriculum align to the U.S. curriculum?

Our Canadian customers tell us that it’s best to purchase one grade level down. If you teach first grade, for example, try a Kindergarten product. You can also check the preview file of any resource in our TpT store to see example lessons to help you make your decision!
