- 3. i was born in may

Teacher tip
Do one sentence a day as a warm-up, then go over it together before the lesson.
How to use it
- Show one mistake-filled sentence on the board and fix it together first.
- Have kids read each sentence aloud to hear where the pauses and stops go.
- Keep a word wall or a word bank in reach so spelling does not stop the ideas.
Watch for
Capitals sprinkled in the middle of words. Review when a capital is needed.
Talk about it
- Why does this word need a capital letter?
- Which sentence on your sheet are you proudest of? Why?
