Teachers and testers wanting to use pictures for students in story writing often face questions about whether the content depicted in a picture should be interesting or familiar to student writers. No or very few studies have addressed this question. This study aimed to answer how elementary and middle-school students select picture prompts for story writing, focusing on whether familiarity or interest more strongly influences their choices. A total of 247 students from five schools in South Korea viewed three picture prompts—Dog Owners, Lost Dog, and Overslept—and answered questions about which picture was most interesting, most familiar, and preferred for writing. Responses were analyzed using frequency counts and cross-tabulation. Results showed consistent perceptions across groups: Dog Owners was selected as the most interesting, and Overslept as the most familiar. However, writing-prompt choices differed by school level. Elementary students tended to choose the familiar prompt, whereas middle school students had a similar degree of preference across all pictures. The study offers implications for educators and researchers on which pictures to use, specifically whether to choose familiar or interesting ones, when implementing story-writing tasks.
