The act of writing helps shape our thinking and is an important life skill we need to nurture in even our youngest students. In her new book, Spark!: Quick Writes to Kindle Hearts and Minds in Elementary Classrooms, author Paula Bourque recommends making writing a daily habit through enjoyable "quick writes" - short, frequent bursts of low-stakes writing that lets young students think and play with ideas on paper. Bourque believes that "quantity produces quality" and suggests writing exercises that can be infused throughout the day.

In just 5-10 minutes each day, Spark! can boost student confidence and transform the way they think about themselves as writers.
  • Build Skills and Stamina: By creating a daily writing habit, students can improve their writing, find their voice, and strengthen communication skills
  • Spark Creativity: Low-stakes writing can reduce anxiety in students and encourage them to take risks, play with language, develop ideas, and write creatively
  • Packed with Prompts: Bourque includes a wide variety of "quick write" prompts, including visual, auditory, and verbal art that can stimulate thinking
  • Community of Writers: During the writing process, students become exposed to and can explore diverse thoughts and ideas of others

Spark! offers purposeful and practical approaches that meet your students where they are in their writing development. Through volume writing, students can find their voice, build their language art skills, and gain confidence as a writer.
