Picture Starters

These writing exercises present a picture and a space for the teacher or parent to type in a word list for the student to use. The pictures in the lessons are either vector drawn clip art or rendered photos. You can choose either color or black and white pictures for the student to color with the clip art worksheets.

Story Starters

These writing exercises present a picture, a story starter, and an area for you to finish writing the story. Erase the title and type your own title for the story in the Title block. If you choose, you can also erase the story starter and write the entire story on your own. You also have the option to use it for the classroom by erasing the Title and printing the story starter as is. Again, you can also erase the starter and print the page out for students to write their own story from the beginning.

I've also included a blank page or a wide orientation blank page for additional writing space.

The blank lines in the pages are just text and can be erased and typed over or added by typing the underscore key. If you are typing the story online, select and erase the lines. If you are printing the worksheets for classroom use, leave the lines for writing guidelines.

The pages are in the Flash format and require the Flash player from Adobe.
