Preschool Writing Worksheet - Building Confidence

A drawing turns into writing at the moment a child can say what it is about and an adult writes those words down where the child can see it happen. That single act does more for early composition than any amount of letter practice, because it shows that speech can be captured. Preschoolers often hold a whole story in mind and answer a broad question with nothing at all. Narrow questions get much further: who is here, what are they doing, where are they.
On this page the child looks at a picture, names something in it, tells one idea about it, and draws their own version. Write down what is said in the child's own words, including the ungrammatical parts, and read it back pointing at each word. Resist finishing the sentence for them. A pause is usually a child assembling something, and the version they produce themselves is the one they will want to read again.
