Let's Become Great Writers!



If your child is having trouble remembering to add spaces or reading their writing after they wrote it, here are a couple tips you can do to help!

-Have them state the complete sentence before writing it. You can use a colorful pen to draw line spaces for each word in the sentence, making spaces for your child to see. For example the sentence, My cat is big.
_ ___ _ ___.

-Have them identify the number of sounds in a word before writing it. Make sound placeholders with dots or spaces, so they know the correct number of letters or sounds to write.
-Re-read their sentences with them and make sure they are using their finger reading to keep track of where they are in the sentence.
-Have fun with it!
