Picture-Word List
Students are given a picture-word list on each writing mat with related clip art to match the writing prompt and topic. There is a space to draw a picture and the word list provides support for spelling.
Writing Checklist
There is a writing checklist at the bottom of each sheet to help students remember what they need to include in their writing passage. They can review the items before writing, refer to them during, and color in the check marks after to show they have used the writing conventions. The digital version of this for Google Slides includes moveable checklist objects that kids can use to interact with the list after their writing is complete.
