Make writing time something your students look forward to every single day!
This full year, 40-week creative writing journal is the perfect resource for daily warm-ups, literacy centers, or independent writing practice in upper elementary classrooms.
Each week begins with an original short story designed specifically for grades 3–5. From magical adventures to mysteries and real-life dilemmas, these stories grab students’ attention and set the stage for the week’s writing practice.
For the rest of the week, students engage with the story through a variety of structured, skill-based prompts:
Tuesday: Summarizing practice
Wednesday: Reading response & text connections
Thursday: Creative rewrite or perspective shift
Friday: Open-ended creative prompt inspired by the week’s theme
By the end of the year, your students will have completed 40 engaging stories and 160 writing prompts that strengthen comprehension, summarizing, creativity, and written expression.
What’s Included:
40 original, grade-level short stories (one per week)
160 follow-up prompts (four per week, tied to each story)
Print-and-go journal pages – zero prep required!
Flexible use for warm-ups, centers, sub plans, or homework
Color edition as shown in photos, as well as full black and white version for multiple printing options.
Why Teachers Love It:
No-prep, consistent structure that saves time and reduces planning stress
Works for both independent writing and guided practice
Provides a balance of creative writing + reading comprehension skills
Keeps students engaged all year long with fresh, weekly content
Perfect for grades 3–5 classrooms, homeschoolers, or tutors who want an engaging, year-long writing program that’s simple to implement but deeply effective.
Get your students writing and loving it, every day of the school year!
