✍️ Helping with Writing Sentences
Everything you need to help — without doing it for them.
🧭 Simple explanation (for you)
A sentence needs a naming part and a doing part: "The cat sleeps." Then grow it: "The small cat sleeps on the bed." Add one idea at a time.
❓ Questions to ask
- “Who or what is the sentence about?”
- “What are they doing?”
- “Can you add a describing word?”
- “Can you add where or when?”
💡 Hints (not answers)
- Say the sentence before writing
- Grow it one word-group at a time
- Read it aloud to check
- Improve just one thing
🏡 Practice activity
