This free printable draw-and-write worksheet helps kindergarten and first grade children turn a simple action into a sentence with details of their own. Children first follow the prompt to draw a car driving on the road, then complete “The car is…” using their picture as inspiration. They can describe how the car is moving, tell where it is going, add something happening along the road, or invent another idea that fits their scene.
Starting with a drawing gives beginning writers something concrete to build from while the open-ended sentence starter leaves room for creativity. Children can practice action words, locations, descriptive details, sentence construction, and handwriting while choosing how much information to add. This free kindergarten and first grade writing worksheet works well for homeschool, early creative writing, or additional literacy practice at home.
