CREATIVE WRITING WORKBOOKS FOR THE UIL A+ AND PSIA CONTESTS

Creative Writing is a subjective contest designed to encourage self-expression and organization in very young students. The Creative Writing Workbooks explain the contest in simplified language appropriate for children at this grade level. Each includes 10 practice tests and lined pages for writing stories as well as a study schedule to help organize practice time over the course of the year or semester.

Creative Writing Workbook 4 expands upon the information in our previous workbooks and includes new material that helps children learn to be creative and use their imaginations. This workbook has new exercises as well as 10 new tests!

CREATIVE WRITING WORKBOOK 3

Creative Writing Workbook 3 follows a format similar to Workbook 1 with rules and guidelines and a few new abbreviated lessons on humor, or being "silly," to encourage further creativity. In addition to the 10 tests with pages for writing, it also contains two sample stories written by Imagine That author Irene Bouchard to show young students what a good story might look like and how to incorporate some or all of the pictures.

CREATIVE WRITING WORKBOOK 2

Creative Writing Workbook 2 contains the same elements as Workbook 1 and includes additional exercises and information pertaining to the "elements of a story" and character building as well as supplementary adjective and verb lists. As in Workbook 1, 10 practice prompts similar to that of the UIL competition are included. This product is a great tool for expanding your student's knowledge of story writing!

CREATIVE WRITING WORKBOOK 1

Creative Writing Workbook 1 explains the UIL A+ and PSIA Creative Writing contests in grade-appropriate language to help (1st or) 2nd grade* students better understand the rules and rubric. The introduction pages address topics such as organization, verbs, and adjectives. Practice tests that are in a similar format are included to give each student an opportunity to place higher and thus feel encouraged to continue and excel. Each workbook contains 10 easy-to-assign prompts with blank lines for students to craft their own creative essays.
