About this worksheet

A complete sentence says who or what and tells what they do, starts with a capital letter and ends with an end mark. First graders often write a few words that sound like a sentence when said aloud but put them in the wrong order or forget the capital and the period. On this worksheet the words of a sentence are mixed up. Your child puts them in order and writes the whole sentence on the lines, with a capital letter at the start and an end mark at the finish.

There are no choices to circle: the child writes. Before writing, ask your child to say the sentence out loud and count the words on their fingers. The answer key shows the correct sentence for every item.

What your child will learn

  • Put words in an order that makes sense
  • Start a sentence with a capital letter
