Description

Teach your students to write descriptive and engaging writing leads! This resource has 20 popular writing hooks that students can use to enhance the beginnings of their narrative and informational writing. Each anchor chart states the name of the “writing hook” and gives examples to help students produce their own. 

The Hooks/Leads anchor charts come small enough to fit into student notebooks. If all 20 are used, these charts will only take 2.5 pages of your student notebooks, leaving PLENTY of space left over! These charts also come in a standard paper size to hang onto your wall or to make a classroom reference book. Blank charts are included to create additional hooks or student-made examples. A page is also included for students to write hooks found within mentor texts- talk about student engagement!


Writing Hooks Include:

  • Internal Monologue
  • Dialogue
  • Description of Setting
  • Description of Character
  • Descriptive Words
  • Questions to Ponder/Wonder
  • Intense Moments
  • Action Words
  • Strong Feelings or Emotions
  • Onomatopoeia
  • Repetitive Words or Phrases
  • Lists
  • Flashback
  • Personal Experience
  • Dilemma
  • Opinion or Advice
  • Definition
  • Figurative Language
  • Interesting Fact or Statistic
  • Famous Quote

Your students will love the CLEAR examples provided and the creativity that they will spark within their writing. These charts are easy for them to reference and use, and their writing is going to flourish in no time! 

These charts pair nicely with my Writing Conclusions Charts! 

Prep is quick and easy... Just print the charts and decide where you want them (on the wall, in notebooks, on a binder ring, etc. )


TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID…


⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dawn C. says, "Great resource!!!! I love the interactive notebook pages as I have a writing folder for my students to help them when they are writing along with wall charts that I have put up on my writing wall. My students found having this when they are writing to be very helpful."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Michelle M. says, "Great resource to support my 3rd-grade writers as they struggle with writing.  These can be used in so many different ways - mini-lesson slides, anchor charts, and charts for students' own notebooks."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dena G. says, "This is a great resource for writing leads. This is also a tricky part for me, as writing is not my favorite subject to teach. This resource made it easier."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Emily M. says, "Students almost always start their essays with the same things. This resource was so helpful in helping them write better leads. The exit tickets I received after this lesson were the best all year. Thank you!"
