The Five Senses Writing Center offers 1st grade students vocabulary practice and independent writing activities. This standards-based, Science of Reading-aligned resource gives students opportunities to practice narrative, informative, and descriptive writing. Activities are differentiated so students can write at their own level, from individual words to complete sentences and short paragraphs.
Students work on the same first grade writing activities, but with different expectations based on their skill level. Some students may write words independently, some might write sentences, and some may be ready for short paragraphs.
Each activity in the Five Senses Writing Center resource is designed to help students independently practice their current writing skills. This ensures each student can complete their writing center tasks successfully.
Yes! The 1st grade writing activities are designed to be flexible. Use them for writer’s workshop, independent writing centers, or free writing time.

I needed simple, predictable activities for my independent centers, and this writing set was exactly what I was looking for. I can’t wait to use it with my first graders.
