Kindergarten Book Report Printables

Students work on their very first book report with this series of kindergarten writing prompts. This simple book report is completed over an entire week, with students adding different elements each day. The first day, students will choose their book, design a new cover illustration, determine the type of book, and learn how to find the title and author. Throughout the week students will describe the characters, the setting, and list the events. Finally, students will be asked about their opinion of the book, and which parts they enjoyed. As students are asked to choose their favorite book for the report, this first book report is perfect for Read Across America themes in March.

St. Patrick’s Day Writing Prompts for Kindergarten

We’ve included lots of lucky leprechaun fun in our March writing prompts! Students start the week by making a list of everything they can think of that is green, and write a silly leprechaun story by choosing to match verbs and adverbs. Next, students put their creative writing skills to the test by deciding what they would do if they found a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Then, students complete the story of Liam the lucky by deciding what happens after he finds a four-leaf clover. Finally, students create an Alliteration by writing about a Lucky Leprechaun.

Butterfly Life Cycle Writing Prompts

For our third week in March, students will be learning and writing all about butterflies! We’ve designed some fantastic research activity pages your students can use to collect and organize their facts about butterflies, including the butterfly life-cycle. Students learn to draw a butterfly, and finish a creative writing prompt. Students build their writing skills by completing another alliteration to finish out the week.

Frogs & Toads Writing Prompts

For our final week of March writing prompts we’ve chosen a fun theme of Frogs and Toads! Your kindergarten students will enjoy these simple research reports to highlight the differences between these two amphibians. Students write about the frog life cycle, and we’ve added a little fun creative writing with a Fun Froggy Comic Strip for students to complete. To finish out the month, students learn about editing skills and take the time to analyze a previous writing sample to practice their editing skills.
