Simple Sentences Worksheet: Rewriting Sentences for Early Readers

How to use this worksheet

Have your child cut out each word card for the first sentence, then lay them out on the table in a scrambled order. Read the words aloud together and talk about which word should come first, encouraging your child to notice that sentences usually begin with a capital letter and end with punctuation. Have them rearrange the words into the correct order, then write the completed sentence on the line provided, repeating this process for each remaining sentence.
