April Writing Journal | Spring, Easter & Earth Day Writing Prompts

Give kindergarten, first grade, and second grade writers a mix of short activities and longer prompts for April. Children can label a picture, plan a list, explain a sequence, support an opinion with a reason, or develop an idea into a short story.

This 46-page US Letter PDF includes:

• 42 student pages: 3 labeling pages, 3 list pages, 5 how-to and sequencing pages, 10 picture prompts, 6 opinion prompts, 9 description and story-writing pages, an APRIL acrostic, a letter-writing page, a reflection page, a draw-and-write extension, and 2 reusable lined sheets.

• Two journal covers, one purple and one black and white.

• A teacher guide and a teacher page with labeling and sequencing answers and sample written responses.

The how-to pages include picture-cued and draw-your-own versions for planting a bean and painting a paper egg. Many prompts pair a sketch area or original line drawing with primary handwriting guides. The two extra writing sheets offer primary rules and wide single lines.

Print at actual size on US Letter paper. Choose one cover and staple selected pages into a journal, or print individual prompts for morning work, writing centers, or guided instruction. Invite beginning writers to talk or draw before writing, and ask more confident writers to add a reason, detail, or event. This is a print-only PDF with handwritten response areas.
