Writing Office Folders 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th Grade Writing Workshop Anchor Charts

Empower your students to become more independent with the writing process, sentence writing, and paragraph writing during writer’s workshop! These writing tips and reminders are great to give students to set them up for success in writing.  These writing office folders are easy to store, and great for providing privacy, all while giving lots of information in one place! It helps with student engagement + independence and allows more time for YOU to pull your guided writing groups.

This writing tool is sure to help students with personal narrative, information, opinion writing, and grammar. PLUS, some common mini-lessons you have taught throughout the year are IN this office, too! Students no longer have the excuse of “I forgot” when the strategy is truly at their fingertips. Digital Writing Office (compatible with Google Slides) and Pre-Assembled Writing Office options (making assembly faster with the pre-assembled template) are included, too! ALL charts in the bundle come in both color AND black/white.

Your students will love having their own personal writing workstation. Mine often used it as a privacy folder, but one that gave them the tricks and tools to enhance their writing. They'll be asking for their writing office before you know it, and their writing will most definitely show that they are using it too!

These posters and paper choices are GREAT for setting up your writing center:

*Helpful Tips:

• Watch this YouTube video on how to assemble this writing office.
• Precut charts for students ahead of time (TIME SAVER!)
• Model whole group to show where and how to glue the charts. We always did it as a class together.
• Build “along the way” as skills are being taught. This saves time on assembly AND questions about things they have not been taught.
• Preassemble for students so they are ready for use.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Antonia S. says, "Being in third grade I am torn between primary or upper resources so this bundle was perfect. I printed it all and now can choose what is needed and when for my child. So much included and so neatly and visually appealing. Thank you for this great product!"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amy C. says, "These were such a help for our students. It reinforced our teaching during the writing lessons and also provided students with opportunities to self-direct and guide their writing. This made for easier check-in with students on their progress and they could have supports at their fingertips that fostered independence."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Geraldine L. says, "This resource is great! I use it with my students to help them become more independent with their writing. It helps them with editing their own writing so much. It also helps with the constant, "How do you spell ________?"
