As Spring approaches, most kids’ thoughts turn to playing outside! As a homeschooling parent, you know this can be a challenging time to get your kids to settle down to write. Especially if you have a reluctant writer! That is one reason why I love Writing Choice Boards!
Writing Choice Boards give kids the power to choose while still working within structured learning goals.
✏️Benefits of Using a Choice Board in Writing
- Encourages Autonomy & Engagement
- Children get to pick their prompts, which makes them feel in control of their learning.
- They’re more motivated to write when they can choose topics that interest them.
- Supports Different Levels & Multiple Learning Styles
- Choice boards work for all levels of writers—whether your child needs support while writing or a challenge.
- Homeschool parents and teachers can adapt prompts for different abilities and writing styles.
- Makes Writing Less Intimidating
- Instead of staring at a blank page, children have clear, engaging options to choose from.
- The variety of prompts reduces frustration and helps with writer’s block.
- Encourages Creative & Critical Thinking
- With prompts covering narrative, opinion, descriptive, and informational writing, children build multiple writing skills in a fun way.
- They can experiment with different writing styles and develop their unique voice.
- Flexible & Adaptable for Any Homeschool Routine
- Children can complete a row, column, or diagonal like a Bingo challenge.
