Description
In 1st and 2nd Grade, students begin writing paragraphs for the first time. They need continual practice with real-world prompts. The 50 prompts with sentence stems in this resource are ones my students loved! They are ideal for at-home practice, work on writing centers, or a technology center.

How can I scaffold student work during distance learning?
•Audio: Download the Talk + Comment extension from the Google Chrome Store and you can easily leave quick audio comments on different slides explaining the tasks or giving feedback.

Happy Teaching,

I used these for remote learning and was very pleased with the results! The sentence frames were perfect for my 2nd graders and the style of them are so lovely and engaging. I know I will use more from the set as time goes on, too.
