From our teachers' playbook

Statements, questions and wow!

What do 2nd graders learn about writing sentences?

Second graders learn that every complete sentence has a subject (who or what) and a predicate (what they do). They write four kinds of sentences: statements, questions, commands and exclamations, each with the right end mark. They expand simple sentences with adjectives and details ("The dog ran" becomes "The fluffy brown dog ran across the park"), and they use pronouns and time words to connect ideas. The click is when a student reads their sentence and asks, "Can I make it more exciting?"

Our favorite ways to teach sentences

Great writing starts with great sentences. These moves build them.

Four kinds of sentences

Write one sentence about the class pet four ways: a statement, a question, a command and an exclamation. Read each one aloud with the right voice. Kids hear how end marks change meaning, then try their own set.

Why it works: handing over the work step by step, from teacher to student, is one of the most widely used teaching frameworks (Pearson and Gallagher, 1983).

Write about the picture

Show an interesting photo and ask kids to write a complete sentence about it. Then challenge them to add one detail: where? when? how? Pictures give every kid something to write about.

Why it works: pairing a picture with each word gives kids two ways to remember it, a well-tested principle of how people learn (Mayer, 2009).

Questions parents and teachers ask

What sentence skills do 2nd graders learn?

Writing complete sentences with a subject and predicate, using four sentence types with correct end marks, expanding sentences with details and using pronouns correctly.

What are the four types of sentences?

Statements tell something and end with a period. Questions ask and end with a question mark. Commands give directions. Exclamations show strong feeling and end with an exclamation point.

How do I help my 2nd grader write complete sentences?

Ask "Who is it about? What did they do?" If both answers are there, it's complete. Read sentences aloud to check if they make sense.

How can I help my child write longer sentences?

Ask who, what, where, when and why questions about their sentence and help them add one answer. Combining two short sentences with "and" or "because" also helps.
