Your students will love filling out this fun journal, once, twice or everyday of the week. The Daily Writing Journal is a unique journal that incorporates daily writing prompts with daily activities. It also incorporates grammar skills and review (and the student has no idea)
The objectives of the journal are very simple:
1) To increase creative expression through writing.
2) To experience fun, and enjoyment through writing.
3) To increase self-esteem and self-awareness through writing.
The author wrote the journal for her own kids because she wanted them to have a safe and fun place to discover the joy of writing. She wanted to provide a place where they could write without fear of being edited, corrected or scrutinized (no grading allowed). She wanted their journal to be the first workbook they wanted to do at the beginning of a school day. She also wanted to review grammar skills in a way where the student did not know they were being reviewed. Well, this journal is the answer!
Simple Supplies Needed
1) Sharp pencils (colored and regular #2)
2) Crayons
3) Glue Stick
4) Scissors
5) Colored Pencils
6) Tape Recorder: There are a few activities that require the student to dictate a story into a tape recorder. They will need to play it back and write down what they dictated. A portable tape recorder will work best, but please use whatever you have on hand.
7) Lots of encouragement!
Each day comes with a different prompt to get the student writing and follows with a fun activity. With over 70 daily writing prompts and 70 daily activities, there are more than enough writing opportunities!
The book also comes with a list of the most commonly misspelled words, parts of speech, sample adjectives, sample nouns, and adverbs! This book is more than just a journal – it’s a fun way to get your kids writing, while helping them review their grammar skills. Give it a try and see if this book isn’t the first workbook your student will want to do at the beginning of each school day!
