If you like to plan ahead, it’s time to get your September writing journal prompts ready. Last month we shared our August journal prompts that covered end of summer, back to school, all about me, and family themes. We’re continuing our yearlong writing journal prompt series this month with some new prompts and new formats for your preschool and kindergarten writers. If you’d like more information about using writing prompts with kids, head over to our writing journal prompt tips page.

Writing Journal Prompts for September-Preschool and Kindergarten. September pack includes seasonal prompts covering 5 Senses, Fall, Apple, Leaf, and Pumpkin themes as well as some general nonseasonal prompts

They are also available on Teachers Pay Teachers if you prefer to shop there.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

The September Journal Set is 76-pages of information and writing prompts with various formats to meet the needs of your students.

There are tips for and a quick overview of Writer’s  Workshop to help you get started.

There are four Journal Cover Page Options to choose from. One with a girl, one with a boy, one with a squirrel image for children to color and one with blank space so kids can design their own cover illustration.

We like to provide multicultural crayons for kids to choose the one that is closest to their own skin color. Our crayons are from Lakeshore, but there is a similar crayon option here.

Each set of journal prompts comes in three formats. For early writers who are still drawing and labeling pictures or experimenting with writing their first sentences, we recommend the unlined version.

Some prompts are basic blank sheets. Others include lists to help kids learn to write for different purposes.

Here the writer is using the unlined list format to draw a picture list and label the pictures with beginning sounds. More advanced writers can do a list of words.

Once students are able to write a simple sentence we recommend transitioning to the lined version.

Having both options in one set allows you to differentiate within your classroom for each child’s specific needs. Some kids can get the unlined version while others get the lined version of the same prompt. Each child is covering the same topic but at an appropriate level for their abilities.

For advanced writers we’ve also included an extended page with lines. That way kids can keep writing beyond the main prompt page when they are ready to do so.

Use these free printable writing checklists to help students review their writing and focus on key developmental writing skills.

THEMES INCLUDED IN THE SEPTEMBER JOURNAL PROMPTS SET

For the September set we focused on early fall type themes. There are 28 prompts total. If you are only writing on week days, you will have extras to choose from if a specific theme or prompt isn’t a good fit for your kids.

This month’s themes are:

  •  6 Five Senses Theme Prompts
  •   3 Fall Theme Prompts
  •   6 Apple Theme  Prompts
  •   5 Leaf Theme  Prompts
  •   3 Pumpkin Theme Prompts
  •   5 General Prompts

WHAT IF YOU ALREADY HAVE JOURNALS TO USE?

No worries! If you already have pre-made journals or journal paper to use , then you can print out the mini prompts we’ve included. Shrink them to the size you need, print, and have kids glue them directly into your existing journals.

Then parents and students will know the topic as they read over journals at a later date.
