What can a child's writing tell you about their sentence knowledge?
Early writing can be difficult to interpret.
Spelling is developing. Handwriting takes effort. Punctuation is still emerging. And sometimes a child has far more to say than they can get onto the page.
But look specifically at the sentences and you can start to notice something else.
What can they already do, and what might they be ready to learn next?
The Sentence Snapshot is a free practical guide to help you recognise the sentence knowledge a child is developing and consider what to teach next.
Inside the guide, you'll learn how to notice:
whether a child is expressing a complete sentence
the sentence patterns they rely on
how they add information to their sentences
where you might focus your sentence instruction next
It is designed for teachers, literacy tutors, interventionists and parents working with children in Kindergarten to Year 2.
