What it is
A sentence tells a whole idea. Kindergartners learn that a sentence starts with a capital letter, has spaces between words, and ends with a period. They start with short sentences like "I see a cat."
What comes next
Letter boxes.
How to teach it
- Say the sentence out loud first, then count the words on your fingers.
- Use a finger space after each word so words don't run together.
- Check the beginning and the end every time. Capital first, period last.
- Read the finished sentence back together.
Common mistakes
- Forgetting the period, or putting one after every word.
- Writing a lowercase i for the word I.
- Running words together with no spaces.
