January Journal Prompts: Differentiated

Writing time in kindergarten is so much more fun when students can feel successful and confident in their writing. These differentiated journal prompts are perfect for a classroom of students with a variety of abilities. 

Includes:
-5 daily journal prompts
-3 versions of each page
-picture/ word bank on each page

How are the 3 versions different?
1- Struggling writers use the version with the sentence starter. They simply plug in a word from the picture/word bank to finish the sentence.

2-Independent writers will use the version without the sentence starters. They will use their knowledge of phonics skills to create their own sentences.

3-Advanced writers will use the version with extra lines. This gives them the opportunity to add details and be creative in the writing process.
