Polar Express Writing Prompt

One of my children’s favorite Christmas stories is The Polar Express.   Children love train rides, but do they want to take a train ride to meet Santa?  Yes please, let’s go!  There are so many great activities you can do with the polar express.  You can act it out, you can get into a great discussion about what you would choose as the first gift of Christmas (remember, it must be able to fit in your pocket), you could learn about the North Pole, you could do great crafts and activities.  We put together a few free writing prompts for the Polar Express.  Before we begin though, I always like to highlight the book we are learning and also some other activities that would go long with the book.

 Edit profile

Madreen Karle is a master first grade reading teacher with over 30 years of classroom experience. She taught reading in a special needs and English as a Second Language classroom. After retiring she wrote a reading program to help others learn how to teach reading. She is a trusted educator and author of 5 books to help teach children to read and write. In addition to her books, she is a mentor for 3 websites that give reading teacher tips (Mrs. Karle’s Sight and Sound Reading, Mrs. Karle’s Reading Patch, and Mrs. Karle’s Handwriting Patch). Through her teaching she learned that confidence was the key to learning to read. A child who is not confident at reading does not like to read and struggles to read. Mrs. Karle created “sunshine moments” to help teach children how to grow their confidence and learn to read.
Meeghan Karle Mousaw (Madreen’s daughter) has her Master’s in Special Education. She has 8 years experience teaching children to read online. In addition, she developed a curriculum to teach children handwriting called The Handwriting Patch. With the Handwriting Patch learning is fun because children learn to draw and learn handwriting at the same time. In 2019 The Handwriting Patch curriculum became an amazon best seller the first year it was released, helping thousands of kids learn handwriting with a unique, fun method. She is mom to 6 kids, each with differently learning abilities and struggles.
The Reading Patch was established by the creators of Mrs. Karle’s Sight and Sound Reading. Together they have been featured on the NBC media outlets and Parents Magazine online. Over the last 8 years in their online platform, Madreen and Meeghan have worked tirelessly with teachers, homeschoolers and parents looking to help children learn to read to become a trusted authority in teaching children to read and advocating early literacy skills. They often partner with other educational experts to deliver the most current information to the Reading Patch community.

    1. Hi there, I just requested the download for you. To get the free downloads you have to enter your name/email into the blue box on the page. The freebie is then emailed to you. I just did that for you. Check your email ando/or spam box to see if you see the email with the free download. .Inside that email there is a link.  That link, if you click on it, the download will either popup in a new tab or download into your download folder.  Sometimes that link does not come hyperlinked.  If that happens you have to copy/paste the link into a new browser tab and it will then open for you.  If you have trouble with this, though, you can forward me the email/replay to the freebie email you received and I will be happy to help you with it.  In either case… if you can’t find the email I am talking about -let me know which freebie you requested and I will get it to you.   My email is [email protected]

    1. Sorry you are having trouble… Did you check your spam…. My guess is it could have landed in your spam box. The freebie has a subject of “Here is your free download!” …Inside that email there is a link. That link, if you click on it, the download will either popup in a new tab or download into your download folder. Sometimes that link does not come hyperlinked. If that happens you have to copy/paste the link into a new browser tab and it will then open for you. If you have trouble with this, though, you can forward me the email/replay to the freebie email you received and I will be happy to help you with it. In either case… if you can’t find the email I am talking about -let me know which freebie you requested and I will get it to you. I will request the freebie for you again -let me know if you don’t see it (you can email me at [email protected]) and I will get it to you!
