Flowers and Plants Writing Activity

Similar to the Spring writing center I shared with you all, this flowers and plants writing activity also includes illustrated plant vocabulary cards and 10 no-prep flowers and plants worksheets.

• Plants and flowers word wall cards
• 10 Making Words: Flowers and Plants Writing Worksheets 

Making Words: Flowers and Plants writing center is a breeze to differentiate your students writing activities. Emergent writers can cut, paste, and build the flowers and plants vocabulary word, and copy the word below.  

If you're wanting to challenge your students, Making Words: Flowers and Plants Writing Activity has enough space to write a complete sentence using the focus vocabulary word.  

For example, some students need a writing intervention, such as reinforcement on transferring print, letter identification, and letter formation.  For these kiddos, I would have them simply copy the one vocabulary word at the top of the flowers and plants worksheet. 

Whereas, kiddos who need the challenge to work on writing concepts, I would have them produce and write a complete sentence about plants using the focus word at the top.

First, the prek, kindergarten, or first grade students cut the scrambled letter tiles at the bottom of the making words flowers and plants printable worksheet. Cutting and manipulating the letter tiles will also strengthen fine motor skills. 

Next, they glue the letter tiles down to BUILD the plants vocabulary word at the top of the page. After building the word, they either write the word or a sentence, and DRAW a matching flowers and plants picture.

Here is an example where the student wanted to use the illustrated flowers and plants word card as a reference when drawing his illustration.

The flowers and parts of a plant word wall cards can be used in many ways.  If working on flower crafts for kids, you would want to first expose them to, and discuss the vocabulary words included with the Making Words: Flowers and Plants Writing Activity.   

These illustrated word cards for flowers and plants are also great pocket chart cards. 

When done, students can self-check their work by checking off each section (at the top of the page), including BUILD, WRITE, and ILLUSTRATE.  This could also be an area for you to mark their effort in each skill.
