Description

Summer Writing Prompts Challenge for 3rd and 4th Grade:

This 30-Day Summer Writing Prompts Challenge for 3rd and 4th graders contains a variety of engaging writing material for your students. There are 30 different writing activities (2 sheets per activity, created to be copied back-to-back and bound into a writing journal, if you choose). For a total of 60 writing pages, you will see the following activities:

  • 2 opinion essays
  • 2 persuasive essays
  • 2 descriptive writing activities
  • 2 narrative writing activities
  • 1 “how-to” essay
  • 5 journal prompts
  • 5 story starters
  • 2 recipes activities
  • 3 newspaper articles
  • 1 packing list activity
  • 2 book reports
  • 1 biography
  • 1 restaurant review
  • 1 autobiography

These writing activities are purposeful but fun. Students will find that completing all of them is challenging but rewarding. Some teachers choose to stretch the challenge to 60 days so that students have 2 days to complete each activity. I also reward my students with a pizza lunch party if they complete the writing challenge (for the summer challenge, I plan the pizza party during the first or second week back to school).

NOTE: THIS FILE INCLUDES A DIGITAL DISTANCE LEARNING OPTION!

This product includes a digital option (as well as the no prep printable option). The instructions for utilizing the digital portion appear at the end of the packet.

This PDF file contains 73 pages + Google Slides.

    I bought this for a couple of my 3rd graders to practice their writing over the summer. Next summer I am planning on giving this out to all my students and adding an incentive for completing it over the summer and bringing it back to me the next school year.

    Absolutely loved this as a summer review for students. I offered it to students who were interested, and created a spiral book for them. I told them if they returned it to me completed at the beginning of the next grade they would have a pizza party. Love it!

  21. Kara Brooker 

    Great to keep the kids writing all summer!

  22. Karen B

    These materials have been very useful with the 2020 Summer Bridge Program that I am teaching this year for 40 3rd, 4th and 5th graders as I am working to support them this summer between the Covid19 quarantine and their future grade level in the fall. I am able to use my Hue document camera to share it with students in their small online sessions and have gotten good participation and engagement from the students. They really love the writing prompts, and can easily access them in our Google Classroom.

  23. Less Chaos More Learning 

    Great resource!

  24. Laura M

    Great resource for remote learning. Thank you!

  27. Intervention Monkey 

    I loved these prompts! They cover multiple forms of writing (opinion, narrative, journal, etc.). I just wish my students were held more accountable by the school to complete the work! Thank you!

  28. Kristin P

    Great resource for summer school.

  29. Stickies and Sharpies 

    This is so useful in my summer program! The kids loved the prompts!

    Absolutely love this writing journal! I’m using it with my 7th/8th grade ELL students who are at about a 4/5th grade reading level for English/Geography Summer Camp and it’s working marvelously. Fantastic buy and makes it super easy to use digitally! Life saver this summer!

  31. Christina Wallace 

    My summer school students (between 3rd and 4th grade) and I have loved this writing resource! I love the variety of writing and they’re topics that the students are interested in.

  32. Blair H

    I have been teaching summer school and have been using this as our journal/writing time, this is just a great source to be able to review skills of writing that they have learned throughout the year.

  33. Amy B

    I am using this as an at home learning project for the summer with my 5th graders. It corresponds nicely with the primary level edition. The prompts provide enough guidance to get the writing started but allow for lots of creative license and expression. I really like that there are a variety of writing modes to choose from. It has been a great summer resource to keep everyone writing with some structure and helping to keep skills sharp for all writing modes.

  34. Bethany S

    Nice!

  35. Matthew D

    My students got really excited about this Summer Challenge!
