Quick Answers for Parents and Teachers
How should we use writing prompts at home?
Pick one prompt per day and let your child write for 10 to 15 minutes. Keep it playful and praise effort, not perfection.
Can teachers use this as a classroom warmup?
Yes. It works well for daily bell-ringers, small group writing, and independent journal time.
What if my child says they don't know what to write?
Ask three quick questions: who is the hero, what problem appears first, and how does the story end.
