Our Year 1 Story Starters Workbook is designed to help young writers feel confident, imaginative and excited about putting their ideas on paper. It includes 12 beautifully illustrated prompts, each one written in simple, accessible language that supports early writers in KS1.

Every page begins with a short, engaging opening and a colourful picture to spark ideas. Children can then continue the story in their own words, which makes this resource ideal for building vocabulary, practising sentence structure and encouraging independent writing.

The workbook offers a wide range of themes, from magical forest doors and talking animals to glowing dragon eggs, lost shoes, snowmen, unicorns and even a space train heading to the moon. Each story starter gives children a gentle nudge while still leaving room for creativity.

This resource works well for whole-class lessons, small-group activities, morning work, early finishers or home learning. It is fully printable and easy to use alongside your existing English and creative writing plans.

Includes the following story starters:
• The Secret Door in the Tree
• The Day the Animals Talked
• The Treasure Map Under the Bed
• The Midnight Balloon Ride
• The Robot Who Needed a Friend
• The Glowing Dragon Egg
• The Friendly Dragon
• The Giant’s Lost Shoe
• The Snowman Who Came Alive
• The Little Unicorn’s Big Day
• The Day My Shadow Ran Ahead
• The Space Train to the Moon

The workbook is provided as a 12-page PDF, ready to download and print.

I hope your learners enjoy these story starters and feel inspired to create their own adventures.
