Description
How to Teach Narrative Writing
This boy shape book activity lets young writers publish their very own book. Narrative writing means telling a story in order: what happened first, next and last. Children can write a story about a boy character, or they can write about themselves. When children see their words turn into a real book with a cover, a title and an author name, they feel proud of their writing and want to write more.
About the Boy Shape Book Activity
Every page is shaped like a smiling boy wearing a big T-shirt, and the shirt is where children write. On the Book Cover they color the shirt, write a title and add their own name. Inside, the Picture Page has a drawing box on the shirt with writing lines below it, and the Writing Page is filled with roomy lines for telling the story. Children cut each page out on the bold line, then staple the pages together on the left side of the shirt to finish the book. Print as many writing pages as each child needs.
What’s Included
- A colorful cover page
- A How to Use page with materials, prep tips and steps
- A boy-shaped Book Cover with a title line and a name line
- A boy-shaped Writing Page with seven writing lines
- A boy-shaped Picture Page with a drawing box and three writing lines
Why Kids Love This Activity
First, cutting out and stapling their own boy book makes writing feel like a fun craft. Second, the picture box lets children plan a story by drawing before they write. Third, roomy writing lines sized for young hands make it easy to write neat, complete sentences about a character or about their own day.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use this preschool handwriting activity for an All About Me unit, a writing center or a back-to-school week. Ask children to write about a boy who goes on an adventure, or to tell three things they like to do. Display the finished books in the classroom library, and pair the boy shape book activity with the house and apple shape books for more writing fun.
