Spark creativity in young writers with our Narrative Writing in 1st Grade resource! This set includes storytelling writing lessons and organizers designed to help students develop their narrative writing skills through explicit writing instruction, mentor texts, time spent writing, and students sharing their writing.
Using a workshop model, students have opportunities for direction instruction, writing time (with conferring), and sharing their writing each day. This familiar routine keeps me focused on incremental growth and is predictable for students.
The materials in this resource are comprehensive and include what you would need for at least four weeks of writing instruction. Each mini-lesson includes teacher talk and ideas for using the accompanying materials with students. Graphic organizers, anchor charts, writing prompts, and students samples are included throughout. There is no way you will use (or want to use) all of the materials included. For some of the mini-lessons, you may choose to create a class anchor chart or have students brainstorm on sticky notes. Other times, you will find the individual student materials helpful. I have offered a variety of resources and options because I know all of our classrooms and students are different. Pick and choose what works best for you!

My students enjoyed using this resource in our second grade classroom. They were able to complete the activity together with success. I did this with an extension reading group. It was so successful that we used it in my classroom. I will use this resource forever on. Thank you for the product! Keep up the great work. I will be back to shop for more!

I especially love how user-friendly this is for the busy teacher! The lesson plans and printables were super helpful in planning and prepping narrative writing in my classroom. We especially loved the “small moment” lessons. They TOTALLY got it! Yay!
