More about this resource...

Kindergarten Fiction and Fairy Tales Writing Unit // This writing unit will teach your students to write using their imagination. They will learn to take the story elements they learned about when writing personal narratives and use them to write fictional stories. They will also learn how to write magical fairy tales. This unit is perfect for an end of the year writing unit!

Can I use this writing unit in 1st grade?

Yes! This unit would also work perfectly in a 1st grade writer’s workshop since all students are writing at their own levels. It also includes an editable rubric.
