Writer's Notebook (3-6)
Writers notice, listen, and observe every day, all the time. A writer’s notebook gives students a place to jot down ideas, explore different writing techniques, take notes, define new vocabulary, and experiment with quick writes. It is a place for writers to generate and try out ideas, play with craft moves, and learn about their identities and interests. When students use writer’s notebooks each day, they begin to live their lives with a writer’s eye—seeing ideas for writing in everyday occurrences. If they have daily opportunities to write and draw, they will learn to see themselves as writer and artists.
Fountas & Pinnell’s Writer's Notebook is a tool for students to collect and experiment with ideas for writing original pieces throughout the academic year. The sturdy 8x10 spiral notebooks take the place of worksheets or workbooks. Inside each notebook you will find guided prompts to help students brainstorm, make connections, and think deeply—all to better develop their writing.
