Kindergarten Writing practice

6 Kindergarten writing lessons, including spaces between words, write names with a capital, words in order, finish the sentence, asking sentences, tell me more. Each one has a short video where Pip explains the idea, a worked example, and endless new practice questions with step-by-step help when a child gets stuck.

Step 1: Spaces between words

We leave a space between words so they are easy to read.

Example: Which sentence has spaces between the words?

Tip: Look for the sentence where every word has room around it.

Step 2: Write names with a capital

Names always start with a capital letter.

Example: Which name is written the right way?

Tip: Look at the very first letter. Is it big?

Step 3: Words in order

A sentence puts words in an order that makes sense.

Example: Which sentence makes sense?

Tip: Read each one out loud. Which one sounds right?

Step 4: Finish the sentence

A sentence needs all its words to make sense.

Example: Which word finishes the sentence? I eat a ___ .

Tip: Read the sentence with each picture word. Which one makes sense?

Step 5: Asking sentences

An asking sentence asks something and ends with a question mark (?).

Example: Which one is an asking sentence?

Tip: Does it ask something? Look for the ? at the end.

Step 6: Tell me more

Good sentences tell more: what it looks like and what it does.

Example: Which sentence tells MORE?

Tip: Pick the sentence that helps you picture it best.
