Kindergarten Writing Center Activities Year Long Bundle

Description

What if planning meaningful writing center activities for Kindergarten didn’t have to be so hard? This Kindergarten writing centers for the year bundle has all your activities designed and planned for you! Handwriting practice, writing sentences, opinion writing, sentence building, writing center posters, and more – it's ALL here!

The skills included in each monthly set build upon each other to take your beginning writers to budding little authors. The activities stay the same so your students will begin to understand the writing routine and thus become independent workers.

Students will be able to work on tracing, handwriting, labeling, making lists, using pictures to tell stories, and using themed vocabulary. Each page has large handwriting lines and ample space for pictures. These activities were designed for students to complete independently.
