Book Review – Totally Spooky Writing Prompts

This collection of writing prompts is like no other. WRITTEN BY A KID FOR A KID, this fun resource makes use of your child’s interest in everything spooky, creepy, and mysterious.

By combining creative story starters with an already established interest of your child, writing becomes fun and entertaining.

Working their way through 4 different Scariness Levels, little writers are bound to be intrigued and excited to unleash their creativity and imagination, as they’re writing their own spine-chilling and hair-raising stories.

Writing a story doesn’t have to be hard. All it HAS to be is FUN! Let’s have tons of ghostly and terrifying fun throughout these next couple of pages. But proceed with caution. You have been warned… You can see more about this book here.

I did a post earlier this year with activities and ideas for teaching the alphabet, but a lot or learning letters and recognizing them just has to do with seeing them and working with them a lot.

That means coloring, tracing, identifying things that start with different letters and more.

One way to reinforce the letters is through little activity books like these cute printable alphabet books from Life Over Cs.

These are available for free when you subscribe to her newsletter, and I’d say that’s well worth it if you have a little one (or a group of little ones!) working on the alphabet and letter recognition.

Each mini book includes a collection of things that start with that letter to color, color and read with words that start with the letter, tracing the letter, finding the letter in a grid and other coloring pages with objects that start with that letter.

These little books are super useful reinforcing the different letters and giving kids different activities related to the letters.

If you do a letter of the day or letter of the week you can use a new book for each one, and then keep the copies in your reading center or in a basket where kids can look at them again.

And of course you can add in all the other letter activities you like, go on a scavenger hunt for items that start with that letter, read alphabet books, practice writing letters in rice or with pompoms or playdough or whatever sensory activities you like.

You can grab the free printables when you enter you email address at Life Over Cs, and check out her other great alphabet resources and activities while you are over there.

Do you have favorite activities for teaching letters to kids? I’d love to hear about them!
