Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use Sticky Ideas with younger students?

Yes. These activities include many suggestions and opportunities for modifying the amount of writing or the complexity of writing. Ideas also include shared writing approaches that provide modeling and inspiration for younger students. 

###

Will Sticky Ideas help my student who struggles?

Yes. Sticky Ideas is based around a concept we call bits & pieces of writing. The approaches encourage students to capture thoughts on paper in small, manageable amounts that are less overwhelming for those who struggle with putting pen to paper. These small written thoughts eventually lead to larger output, but in a controlled and supportive way! 

###

Do I need any other materials to teach with Sticky Ideas?

The name says it all! Sticky Ideas generates bits & pieces of writing using sticky notes in a variety of colors and sizes. We recommend starting with a few colors of 3x3 unlined and 4x4 lined sticky notes. 

###

Can I use Sticky Ideas with other programs?

Yes. These writing activities can be used to enhance any writing or language arts program.

Excellent!!

This is the BEST! My 9 year old is very reluctant to write. The curriculum we are using asks him to write 2-3 sentences and he freezes.
I found this resource and he LOVED the whole process. The sticky notes as a tool make the writing process so much less daunting for him. He had fun and even wrote on the notes himself without stressing about correct spelling which usually is a big obstacle for him. We will continue to use this method to build his confidence and make writing fun!
Thank you!

I just love the Sticky Ideas packet. It seemed so simple at first but I’m finding more and more ways that bits & pieces of writing are adding up for really deep comprehension.
