Think, then Write Halloween Pack: Free Resource
Too many young students are reluctant to write.
Some have language and learning challenges, like developmental language disorder or dysgraphia.
Others have ADHD or other challenges with executive functions.
Some simply haven’t learned to do it yet.
And some students are reluctant to give it a go because it all seems too hard and boring.
Lots of reluctant writers love Halloween.
We can harness this interest to encourage them to give writing a go!

Because, but, so sentence completion – to work on conjunctions.
