These picture word cards are helpful for sentence or story writing so that students focus on their writing instead of spelling. They also encourage students to use a larger vocabulary within their writing.

There are 32 winter related picture word cards in color and repeated in line art. They can be placed on a word wall or in a pocket chart in your writing center.

For a quick writing activity, tell the students to choose a specific number of winter words and write a sentence using each. For a greater challenge, ask them to use those words within a story.

Optional additional activities included for guided reading groups or literacy centers: Winter word sort, Venn diagram for inside and outdoor words, alphabetizing page for twelve words, grammar sort (looking for syllables, compounds, plurals, and blend). There are also two writing pages; one with space for picture on top and one full lines.

I hope your students will enjoy writing through the winter using these cards. If you have found these helpful, I appreciate you letting others know in the comment section. If you have any questions, please email [email protected]
