If kids have trouble getting started, you can use these tools to support them with generating ideas for their how-to books or planning their pages. Prompt them to think of simple things they do

every day! Ask them to consider things they know how to make, play, do, or draw! Then, get started writing “in the air”! Say the steps aloud as they touch each blank box to rehearse before they sketch and write. You can carry this oral rehearsal tool into the following units across the year, too!

This is a teacher-created barebones demonstration pieces for How-

sheet protector so that we can revise with a dry-erase marker and use repeatedly across small groups and conferences.
