Writing Checklists
Writing Checklists are one of the best ways you can help your students become independent writers, revisers, and editors. When it comes to checklists, it is best to switch it up. When students get used to one checklist, they stop reading carefully and start mindlessly checking boxes. So, I have included a variety of checklists for 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders.

Writer’s block happens often when kids are staring at a blank piece of composition paper, but when they are given the structure with which to write, the “creative juices” can flow once again. It is amazing how much mo
