Use Ikea baskets like the ones pictured to hold writing sheets. These compact baskets have handles and are easy for children to take off the shelf. These stable baskets hold the writing work better than any other basket. (Other baskets tend to tip and spill contents.)

Dividers organize the writing work. Writing work includes Pattern, Greeting Card, Number, Letter, Me Basic, and Picture Word Writing. There are dividers for all the writing works.

They can be found at the end of each book. They are also in the PDF materials at the end.  Copy them onto colored cardstock paper. All the WORDS for the tracer sheets appear centered at the top of the divider. If dividers get damaged, recopy them. Choose colors for the dividers. The pattern dividers are yellow. Name is blue. The Greeting Card dividers are green. The number is red. The letter is blue. The Picture Word is yellow. Me Basics is orange. You can choose different colors if you prefer. Label the baskets with the same color as the dividers. Use double-sided tape to place the name on the basket.

The dividers provide students with a way to find their work. Students learn the name of each writing sheet and often refer to them by their name.

Plastic Writing Mats help students organize their writing work. Put them on a tray on the writing shelf. Children take one to do their writing work on. It defines their space on the table just like a work rug does for floor work. Laughing Star sells plastic writing mats that are 8.5 x 11 inches. They can be washed by students and last for many years.
