They’re HE-RE…FREE July Writing Prompts!
Once your young writer uses one of the prompts, he colors in the watermelon. 
2 Quick Tips for extending writing:
- Ask the child to use and or because to extend the sentence.
- Ask, “What happened next?” to get the child to add more sentences onto his story.
Just so you know…my plans are to create monthly prompts for August and into the school year as well (one for each month of the year). I will keep them individually on 4Shared until they’re all done. Then, I’ll bundle them and place them on Teachers Pay Teachers.

Stretching sentences is such a great writing skill all students need to understand. Very nice visual prompts! Carolyn
Love the idea of coloring in the watermelon. Great graphic.
Thanks, Jackie! I’ve been experimenting lately with making my own graphics out of the shapes on PowerPoint…fun, fun!
Thank you! It will be nice to have something to refer to. Even if my kids come up with sentences to say aloud rather than actually writing some times, I think it will fun and productive.
thank you thank you! I’ve been waiting on these
August’s should come out soon!
