Halloween Writing Practice Directed Drawing Halloween Sentence Writing and Draw

This Halloween Write and Draw resource pairs a step-by-step directed drawing with sentence writing practice for K to 2 students. On each page, students draw a Halloween picture, trace and write the word, trace and write a simple sentence, and then write their own sentence using the word.

Drawing first gives young writers something real to look at, talk about and write about. The directed drawings are by Kathleen McGiveron (Ms Artastic) and include jack-o'-lantern, witch's hat, cat, ghost, vampire, werewolf, mummy, monster, skeleton, bat, cauldron, broomstick, candy corn, scarecrow, moon, Frankenstein, spider, owl, witch and pumpkin.

HOW TO USE IT

Use the pages for morning work, writing centers, early finishers, sub plans, independent practice or homeschool writing practice. Print single pages as you need them, or turn the set into a Halloween write and draw booklet that students work through over time.

Every page follows the same format, so students know what to expect and get repeated practice with drawing, handwriting, vocabulary and sentence writing. It is especially useful for visual learners and reluctant writers, because the drawing gives them a starting point before they write.

FAQ

It depends on the student, your writing expectations and how much detail they add. One page may fit in one class or writing block, and students who color carefully may take longer.

No. The directed drawing steps help students feel successful, and they can add their own creative details before writing.
