Grade 1 Writing Worksheet
Finish each sentence with a reason.
My favorite food is ice cream because
I like the park because
Winter is my favorite season because
I like my school because
I like rainy days because
Summer is my favorite season because
An opinion tells what you think or like, and a reason tells why. In first grade, writers learn to give an opinion and then back it up with the word because. On this worksheet each line begins a sentence, such as I like pizza because, and your child finishes it with a reason on the lines. There is no one right answer, so the answer key shows a sample reason.
Support, standard and challenge sheets use different sentence starters about food, animals, seasons and school. Ask your child to say the whole sentence out loud first, then write the reason, starting with a small letter and ending with a period.
Common Core standard: W.1.1
I like pizza because it is cheesy and warm. The word because starts the reason, and the sentence ends with a period.
Repeating the opinion instead of giving a reason, such as I like pizza because I like pizza.
Ask: why do I like it? Say it out loud, then write it.
