About this resource
Description
Every sentence does a job. A telling sentence ends with a period, an asking sentence ends with a question mark, and an exciting sentence ends with an exclamation point. This cool cat sentences activity helps Kindergarten, 1st Grade and 2nd Grade children learn the three kinds of sentences with a fun card sort about a very cool cat.
Children cut out twelve sentence cards, such as a card that asks where the cat is hiding or a card that cheers that the lost kitty is home. They read each card, look at the end mark, and sort it into the Telling, Asking or Exciting pile. Then they write each card number on the sort and record sheet and check it with the answer key. This cat sentence sort game is perfect for a small group, a literacy center, or partner practice.
What’s Included
- A How to Use page with simple steps and prep tips
- 12 cat sentence cards: 4 telling, 4 asking and 4 exciting
- A sort and record sheet with period, question mark and exclamation point columns
- A 1st Grade practice worksheet: write the missing end mark
- Answer keys for the cards, the record sheet and the practice page
Why Kids Love It
- The funny cat sentences make reading practice feel like play.
- Big, clear end marks help young readers see each kind of sentence.
- Sorting cards into piles gets hands moving and minds thinking.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before the sort, read a few sentences aloud with a flat voice, a curious voice and an excited voice, and let children guess the end mark. Use the cool cat sentences activity again as a center, and challenge children to say a new cat sentence of each kind. At home, families can take turns telling, asking and exciting sentences about a pet or a favorite animal.
