Friday Freewrite: Brushing Teeth

Freewriting is that wonderful key that unlocks the writer within.

Today’s writing prompt:

For a news segment, how might a reporter describe you brushing your teeth?

Share your child’s freewrite in the comments if you’d like! (Or feel free to share your freewrite too!)

New to freewriting?

Freewriting is the vehicle by which we trick our inner selves into expressing the words and ideas that we want to share but are afraid won’t come out right on paper if we do. So, read the freewriting prompt, set the timer for 5-10 minutes then have your child write whatever comes to mind. We invite you to freewrite too, at the same time as your kids. Just keep the pencil moving until “ding”—when the timer rings!
