About this worksheet

Short sentences with a picture, like "I see a hat." Trace each one, then write it below.

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, with Fewer, Standard or More on the page. See the full first sentences guide for kindergarten.
