Teach kids literacy skills with fun classroom writing activities developed by the create-to-learn program from creatED® by Crayola®. This teacher resource was designed for inspiring family engagement inside and outside of the classroom with 6th, 7th, and 8th grade reading and writing projects. This literacy activity bundle includes colorful art supplies and an informational parent guide so families can practice curriculum concepts together—and have lots of fun too! The Writing Art-Inspired Stories – Understanding Self and Others kit for grades 6-8 includes 3 visual, easy-to-use, project-based learning ideas—Change Poems, Hand-drawn Selfies, and Celebrate & Honor.
These creative teaching materials feature writing projects for kids that help nurture curiosity, creativity, communication, collaboration, and critical thinking through age-appropriate activities. Kits use a project-based learning foundation so students learn important reading, writing, and creativity skills supported by family. These Writing Kits are a great teaching tool because they support single-classroom, whole-school, and district-wide initiatives and help fulfill Title I Family Engagement requirements as you also address the U.S. Department of Education Family Framework.
