From our teachers' playbook

Who did what? That's a sentence!

What do kids learn about writing sentences?

Kids learn that a complete sentence needs two parts: a subject (who or what) and a predicate (what they do or are). "The dog" is not a sentence yet, but "The dog barked at the mail truck." is! They learn every sentence starts with a capital letter and ends with punctuation, and that there are four types: statements, questions, exclamations and commands. Older writers combine short sentences into longer ones and fix fragments and run-ons. The click is when kids can hear an incomplete sentence and say "Wait, what happened?"

Our favorite ways to build strong sentences

Good sentences come from lots of short, focused practice. These moves give kids a clear routine.

Who plus what happened

Write a subject on a sentence strip ("My little brother") and ask, "What did he do?" Kids shout predicates and you write a few. Model checking each one: does it have a who and a what happened? Then kids build their own.

Why it works: showing first, practicing together, then letting kids try alone is the "gradual release" model teachers have relied on for decades (Pearson and Gallagher, 1983).

Split the sentence

Have kids draw a line between the subject and the predicate in a set of sentences. Color one side blue and the other red. Seeing the two halves makes it easy to spot when a half is missing.

Why it works: kids understand an idea best when they touch it, then draw it, then write it, the order the U.S. Department of Education recommends for elementary math.

Questions teachers and parents ask about sentences

What makes a complete sentence?

A complete sentence has a subject and a predicate and expresses a full thought. It begins with a capital letter and ends with a period, question mark or exclamation point.

What are the four types of sentences?

Declarative (a statement), interrogative (a question), exclamatory (shows strong feeling) and imperative (a command). Each one has its own ending punctuation.

What is a sentence fragment?

A fragment is part of a sentence that's missing a subject, a predicate or a complete thought, like "Under the bed." Kids fix it by adding the missing part.

How do I help my child write better sentences?

Have them say the sentence out loud before writing it. If it sounds complete when spoken, it usually is. Then check for a capital and ending punctuation.
