‼️$10 off entire book bundle via my website‼️

✍️ The Growing Writers Series
A complete set of mentor texts that guide your students from scribbles to full sentences—developmentally appropriate, creative, and actually fun to teach with.

📘 Scribble Scrabble
The journey begins here! This book celebrates early marks and shows young writers that scribbles are meaningful. It’s all about helping kids build writing confidence from the start.

🔷 Shape Stories
Next up: illustrations. Kids learn how simple shapes can be combined to make meaningful drawings. Perfect for supporting oral storytelling and early writing through art.

🔤 Labeling Our World
Now that students can draw, it’s time to add labels! This book teaches kids to stretch out sounds, use beginning sounds to label their pictures, and connect writing to meaning.

✏️ Starting a Sentence
The final book gets kids writing full sentences with confidence. Using kid-friendly language and playful rhymes, this book introduces capitals, finger spaces, and punctuation. by @thatkindermama

This is how I organize our directed drawing notebook for this entire unit (and for the rest of the year)

PS did you know my labeling and narrative unit have directed drawings included too? I will up updating the other units this summer to have directed drawings too so our writers don’t ever get stuck on drawing pictures 🤩 by @thatkindermama

And if you make a very serious sounding voice, and put “Miss” or “Mr.” in front of their full name as you present their award to them at the “ceremony,” the smiles and giggles that will envelop the room will stay with you forever. 🥹

I absolutely love these awards by @thatkindermama. They are part of her illustration unit. Comment “AWARD” to see the unit the certificates are in!
