3rd Grade Creative Writing Interactive Whiteboard
Reluctant Writers Activity Bundle: Engaging Activities for Writing Intervention
By Betsy Newmeyer
Help your reluctant writers practice their grammar through building and punctuating sentences, expanding sentences with parts of speech, and combining sentences with this activity bundle of 9 printable and digital activities. Ideal for both GenEd and SpEd teachers with struggling and reluctant writers.
Students also begin writing pieces by building word banks in order to tell a short story or write expository and opinion writing pieces. Throughout each of the activities, students communicate their ideas and collaborate with peers while giving and accepting peer feedback during the revision process.
I have used each of these resources with my students over the years. I have found that low-stakes writing activities that include an element of game-like fun and peer collaboration work best. It turns the most reluctant of writers into a writing enthusiast.
Bundle Includes:
- Sentence Combining Task Cards
- Writing Intervention: Activities to Help Reluctant Writers
- Expanding Paragraph Practice
- Picture Writing Prompts with Word Banks
- Build a Sentence: Comma Rules
- Editable Digital Picture Prompts with Buildable Word Banks
- Writing Revision Tools: Peer Feedback
- Parts of Speech Activities: Word Tiles for Sentence Building, Bingo, Bookmark
- Parts of Speech Games for Grammar Review

Editable Digital Picture Prompts with Buildable Word Banks
By Betsy Newmeyer
Inspire better writing pieces by helping your class build a word bank based on illustrations prior to writing. Designed to be a teacher-led, no prep activity the whole class will enjoy, this Google Slideshow is editable and includes 20 different images with space to write 20 words per image.
In my own classroom, we use images to spark our writing pieces all the time. It gives the kids something to start from instead of trying to come up with their story ideas entirely on their own. And by collaborating as a class on building a word bank, it helps out ELD students and anyone else who struggles to find the right words. As the class generates words, the kids practice oral storytelling, which in turn leads to a better story. Use these photo writing prompts as a quick write or as part of a longer writing piece.
Here's what’s included:
- 20 Slides with illustration and blank word bank for up to 20 words
- Teacher’s Guide with suggestions
- Student Slide with reminders about adding details to a story
