Just a couple of most posts about sentence writing for our \u201cHomework Help\u201d feature this month\u2014then back to more tips and tricks for all readers, writers, speakers, and thinkers! Below is a list of other sentence writing ideas for you and your student\/child:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
    \n
  1. If your child likes the feeling of creating through writing, but doesn\u2019t think he can write sentences, you may want to try one of the following:<\/li>\n
      \n
    1. Have him copy sentences that you write for him or sentences out of one of his favorite books.<\/li>\n
    2. Write sentences for him with a light colored highlighter and have him write over the highlighter with his pencil. <\/li>\n
    3. Write \u201cfill in the blank sentences for him.\u201d When I was in teacher\u2019s college, these were called \u201ccloze sentence\u201d (for those who want to google to find out more). This is where you write sentences but leave blanks for him to fill in key words. This way you have started the sentences for him, but what happens in the sentence and to whom is still his creation. (There\u2019s a site that lets you build these and print them for your kids\/students at https:\/\/www.theteacherscorner.net\/printable-worksheets\/make-your-own\/fill-in-the-blank\/<\/span><\/a> .)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n
      <\/div>\n
        \n
      1. If he can\u2019t think of anything to write about in his sentences, ask him questions that he must answer in sentence form. \u201cWhat is your favorite animal?\u201d \u201cWhat is your favorite color?\u201d etc.<\/li>\n
      2. If he is having trouble writing \u201creal\u201d sentences (i.e. write fragments or dependent clauses instead), have him say it aloud and ask him more questions. For example, if he says \u201cBlue\u201d (to the favorite color question), say \u201cBlue what?\u201d If he says \u201cfavorite color,\u201d continue to coach him. \u201cTry this\u2026Blue is\u2026can you make that into a complete sentences instead of just words?\u201d (Coaching is a huge part of teaching writing!)<\/li>\n
      3. If he likes to write stories, have him dictate sentences to you (or alternate giving sentences\u2014he then you) that you pen for him.<\/li>\n
      4. Finally, have him write a sentence a day to get used to sentence writing. We had journals for our kids that they copied verses and quotes in\u2014one a day\u2014to help them get a feeling for sentence writing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        <\/div>\n
