Sentence building
Word cards in the wrong order — put them back and write the sentence with a capital and a period.
When they can read a sentence but their own writing comes out as a list of words.
Print a name and date on it (optional)
Leave it empty and the lines stay blank to write on. Teachers: put the class name in once and every copy in the batch has it.

How to use this sheet
- Ages
- Ages 5–8
- What it practices
- Word order, capitals and end punctuation — the three things that turn a list of words into a sentence.
- · Have them read the cards aloud before writing. Word order is heard before it is seen.
- · Cut the strip apart if they're stuck — moving the words with their hands is easier than moving them in their head.
