FREE New Year Journal Prompts for Beginning and/or Struggling Writers!

I started creating our NO PREP Journal Prompts for Beginning and/or Struggling Writers and they have helped SO much!  The littlest Moffatt Girl loves to use these journal prompts because she feel so successful!
I wanted to make a FREEBIE for you that included some New Year’s Writing Prompts!  I love the New Year because it is a great time to reflect and make some “attainable” goals and to get kids writing!

 

Writing is a skill that requires daily practice.  These simple journal prompts are designated to help BEGINNING and/or STRUGGLING writers build confidence, practice articulating thoughts, work on fine motor skills and use proper letter formation.
