How to Review Sentence Structure with First Grade Students

At the end of kindergarten, students can read, sound out words, and write sentences. They’re ready for first grade! But after three months of summer, some of that learning starts to fade. It’s the summer slide, and it happens to almost every child.

So how can first grade teachers review kindergarten writing skills while jumping into a new curriculum? That’s where my Sentence Writing Unit comes in.

This four week unit reviews all the basics of writing while keeping lessons short and simple. In just 20 minutes a day, students practice using capitals, spaces, and punctuation, repairing sentences, and writing independently.

When you purchase the Sentence Writing Unit you’ll get:

• 4 weeks of lesson plans
• editable digital daily slides
• anchor charts
• over 75 pages of practice pages
• and more!

Each lesson is short, focused, and easy to fit into your schedule. You can teach it whole group, during writing time, or in small groups for extra support. Use the practice pages throughout the year for quick reviews without reteaching lessons.

If your first graders forget capitals, skip spaces, or leave off punctuation, this unit is for you. It’s perfect for the beginning of the year or anytime students need a quick sentence refresher.

For students still learning to label or draw, start with my Labeling Unit or Illustration Unit. For those ready for more, move on to the Narrative Writing Unit.
