Kindergarten and first graders are learning how to build simple sentences and in this lesson, they will identify and rewrite telling sentences. They will be tasked with putting jumbled sentences back into the correct syntax. Once they comprehend that a sentence starts with a capital letter and ends with a period, they will be able to decode them correctly.This is an important foundational grammar and writing skill for your child to master.
