Would you still like to have your students practice paper and pencil writing tasks along with a digital activity? The vocabulary digital resources were created for your students to read the words and sentences from their devices and write them on the included writing pages.

Writing Ideas To Use At Your Independent Literacy Centers

Make the paper bag puppet and laminate the word cards. Your students will take a card, write it on their recording forms and feed it to the hungry puppet!

Laminate and add the picture cards to a pocket chart. Students take a card and add it to their list of fall words.

If you use writing folders, add the vocabulary poster and the writing pages to your student’s writing center folders. Perfect for a grab-and-go-writing center.

Add the vocabulary word spinners to your writing center. Students spin a paperclip to decide which fall words to write about.

Students use vocabulary cards to help them spell words and come up with new sentences.

Use both digital and print writing activities! Students read the fall words and sentences on their devices and record them on the form. This also helps your ELL learners!

Along with the differentiation and the writing choices in this October writing center bundle, your students will enjoy the engaging writing activities. Instead of having the pressure of coming up with something to write about, the helpful vocabulary cards and posters will help spark their imagination. And since these activities are so interactive, you will find that they have plenty to keep their attention while they’re at your independent writing center.
