What kids practice
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."
Watch for
- Forgetting the period, or putting one after every word.
- Writing a lowercase i for the word I.
- Running words together with no spaces.
It's free to print, as many copies as you need. See the full first sentences guide for kindergarten.
