Lesson Overview
About this worksheet
A sentence is not just a pile of the right words. It is those words in an order that makes sense, and putting them in that order is a decision a child can practice before they can spell much of anything.
Exactly one word in each set starts with a capital letter, and that word goes first. That single clue is what makes each item have one right answer instead of two defensible ones, and it also teaches the convention it depends on. Section A uses three and four words; Section B goes to four and five.
The answer key on page three prints every finished sentence.
