Introduction

Welcome to the Writing Prompts for Seasons workbook series! Within these pages you'll find 200 writing prompts, which will stimulate the imagination of your students or children. I've found that the key to allowing students to fully latch onto an idea is to give them a scenario followed by a question. In answering the question, young writers can take the same prompt a million different directions. You can download a printable PDF of the book toward the end of the collection. This gives you the choice of either reading the prompt out loud or letting your students/children read the prompts on a sheet of paper.

The Writing Prompts for Seasons series is a collection of books I've created after seeing how many parents and teachers have visited my website, Build Creative Writing Ideas (located at http://www.build-creative-writing-ideas.com). The most popular pages on my site coincide with prompts about the four seasons of spring, summer, fall and winter. I imagine this means two things: teachers and parents are searching for seasonal writing activities, and children enjoy writing about the changing weather and the upcoming holidays. I hope that this series will meet both of those needs while inspiring creativity in the minds of our youth. The five books in the series are available for grades 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. The prompts become more complex with each volume, but continue to remain imaginative and creative throughout.

I love hearing about the progress of students on my site and I'm always interested in hearing new ideas for delivering creative writing prompts to writers from the ages of 5 to 105. Feel free to contact me on my website with any questions and comments you can think of. I hope you and your future best-selling authors thoroughly enjoy this and other books in the series. Happy writing!

Sincerely,

Bryan Cohen

PS: On the printable PDF version of the book, there is space below each prompt for your budding writers to write, and there is a good chance they may have more to say than they can fit on the page. There is an extra page in the back if you'd like to photocopy it, but I strongly suggest that you also get a notebook and some extra pencils just in case. A dictionary for challenging words may also be helpful.
