Journal Prompts for Daily Writing YEAR LONG Creative Writing Handwriting Bundle

Receive big savings $$$ with this monthly guided journal prompts BUNDLE. Ideal for use as a morning work journal, writing centers, homework, or daily handwriting practice. These prompts will guide your young students with opinion, narrative, and informational writing practices. Engage your students with monthly themed seasonal topics.

✏️ Each journal page now has TWO formats to choose from:

1. The two-lined version as seen in the Handwriting Without Tears® curriculum
2. The familiar three-lined version used in most primary level curriculums

This journal is perfect for new or struggling writers. The daily prompts allow the student to trace the letters with proper strokes and spacing. These journal pages are specifically designed for handwriting practice. Many other journal prompts out there do not focus on the handwriting aspect. This journal covers everything - creative writing, grade level ELA, visual arts/drawing, and functional handwriting.

Daily handwriting practice is important to all new writers. Daily practice not only improves handwriting, but gives the student practice with spelling, grammar, and reading skills. The physical act of writing stimulates muscle memory and helps the student transfer letter formation and spelling to long-term memory. These journal pages include an area for the student to practice writing their name (enough space to write their first and last name) and the date. The repetition of writing this every day in the same format allows them to truly memorize and perfect their new writing skills.

The drawing portion of these journal pages are there to connect your student's writing to a visual platform - reinforcing reading/writing comprehension. Drawing is also beneficial to new writers allowing them to strengthen their hand muscles needed to make proper letter strokes. These journal pages have a good ratio of drawing to writing making it easier for young students to complete both tasks successfully.

⭐️⭐️ I SEE HUNDREDS OF HANDWRITING PRODUCTS ON TPT - WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE THIS ONE? ⭐️⭐️

Most of the products sold on TpT are created with programs such as PowerPoint® or Canva. These are great for making slide shows or quick ready to use graphics, but they are not built to create professional quality worksheets. ALL of my products are designed on Adobe InDesign - the industry standard software for layout and typesetting. It is the same software used to create worksheets, textbooks, and magazines that you would find in a bookstore. By using this program, I am able to fine tune every detail in my worksheets to ensure each letter, line, and image is exactly where it should be. This means that your students will have greater success in forming their letter strokes and formations. The lines on the paper are perfectly formatted to align with every letter. And with my extensive typesetting background, I ensured each letter is properly kerned (spaced). All of these are important factors in ensuring success for new and struggling writers. The fonts used on many other TpT handwriting products are not designed for handwriting instruction. The handwriting fonts I use in all of my practice sheets were custom designed by me - specifically to use for handwriting practice.

As a former Disney graphic designer (and typography enthusiast), I took extra care to ensure the authenticity of the letter strokes and formation. My worksheets fill in the gaps and provide ample practice for your students to grasp the muscle memory needed for proper handwriting instruction. As a graphic designer AND teacher, I've worked tirelessly to create a quality product that meets the needs of beginning writers. Many other handwriting practice pages out there do not meet the appropriate size, scale, spacing, and proportions needed for success in these areas. For new or struggling writers, the actual design of the worksheet is as important as the content. I hope you and your students enjoy these simple yet highly effective journal prompt pages.

These journals come with several cover design options including a blank cover for those students with extra creativity to design their own cover. Each monthly set includes enough journal pages and topics to do daily writing for that ENTIRE MONTH including weekends and school breaks/holidays.
