Second Grade Writing Prompts and Story Writing Worksheets

Much of the early learning process involves teaching kids how to come up with definitive answers to questions like “What’s 2+2?” and “Which word in the sentence is a verb?” But it’s just as important to teach them how to creatively answer open-ended questions. Our second grade writing prompts and story writing worksheets encourage kids to open their minds and stretch their imaginations as they hone their critical-thinking and creative-writing talents.
