Writing Worksheets and Printables

Keep Kids on the ‘Write’ Track with Writing Worksheets

Any author throughout time will admit there have been times when they’ve sat and stared for hours at a notepad, typewriter, or computer screen, unable to get the writing ball rolling. If professionals occasionally struggle to transfer their thoughts to the page, imagine how difficult it must be for young students who are just learning the finer points of writing.

One way to unlock writer’s block is with our writing worksheets. Featuring hundreds of prompts with themes ranging from holidays, cars, and animals to food, science, and seasons, these particular writing worksheets are designed to inspire students of all ages to get their creative juices flowing. Beyond the vast supply of intriguing prompts, students will also find writing exercises that teach such literary devices as alliteration, metaphors, hyperbole, and onomatopoeia. There are even printables that explain the differences between persuasive, argumentative, and opinion writing, along with activities that give students the opportunity to practise these techniques.

One thing parents should remember about writing is kids are often their own worst critics. So be there at every turn to offer praise, encouragement, and support as they practise this vital skill.
