In Scotland, they’re great for Primary 5, 6, 7 and S1. They’re great for reluctant writers and they have a dyslexia friendly format too.

  • Each of the 100 A4 cards features a visual element (photo / picture stimulus), a starter sentence or part-sentence to help launch children into their fiction / narrative writing
  • Prompt questions to get ideas going
  • A word bank and some suggested openers to add variety to their writing
  • A box at the bottom reminds students to read their work aloud, check for full stops and capital letters and common spellings
  • Range of subjects and genres including mystery, sport, humour, fantasy, family and historical. Lots of settings too. Plenty of variety so children can choose ones that appeal to them.
  • UK and US English versions included, with spellings and references to ‘full stops’ and ‘periods’ etc amended as appropriate
  • Designed to offer maximum support for dyslexic learners and those with similar barriers to learning. Verdana font and spacing used are both dyslexia-friendly and the background colours are designed to reduce glare. Both the UK and US cards are also included with the background colours removed and could be used if printing on dyslexia friendly paper or card.
  • Could be used to support the writing of a full story
  • Could also work well as a regular tool to support struggling writers in one-to-one or small group sessions, where students write a few sentences inspired by the prompts, without worrying about completing a story.
