About this worksheet
Looking at a picture and writing a sentence about it is the first real piece of writing a child does on their own, because the ideas come from the picture and the child can put all their attention on spelling and punctuation. On this grade 1 worksheet each box shows a large picture with two lines below it, and your child writes a complete sentence: a capital letter at the start, a space between the words and an end mark at the finish.
Many sentences are right, so the answer key shows a sample. Before writing, ask your child to say the sentence out loud and count the words on their fingers.
What your child will learn
- Say a whole idea before writing it
- Start a sentence with a capital letter
- Leave a space between words
- End a sentence with a period
Common Core standard: L.1.1.J
