What Are Color, Draw, and Write Prompts?
Color, draw, and write activity sheets are a three-in-one worksheet for your preschooler’s language arts. Each page has a letter to color, a picture to copy, and a short 1-sentence writing prompt.
Each color, draw, and write activity sheet has a seasonal theme from spring to fall to Valentine’s Day.
This means you can have charming, themed practice for every time of year.
The Benefits of Color, Draw, and Write Prompts
The main goals of preschool language arts are simple: get your child reading and writing.
Color, draw, and write prompts pursue both those goals on one page.
Letter Recognition
You can skip the flashcards today.
By coloring the letter and seeing a corresponding word (like “D is for dandelion”), your child is learning letter shapes and sounds in context.
Fine Motor Practice
Even if your child is not ready for formal handwriting, he can work on his fine motor skills by drawing and coloring.
Composition Practice
Whether your child is writing independently or needs you to be his scribe, she will practice forming her words into a complete thought.
This is the building block of written expression.
Easy for the Parent
Last but certainly not least, color, draw, and write activity sheets are easy to prep (just click and print!). Simply give your child one sheet for language arts.
Done!
