Writing is VERY new to them and everyone is at different levels.  Some will be able to write:  "I like "  and then may need help with the last word.  You might write it on another paper and let them copy it or you might write it for them and let them trace it.  I'd like for them to practice writing the sight word part of the sentence.  Students who know all their sounds will be able to stretch the non sight words out and write the sounds they hear.  They do not need to spell the non sight words correct if they are using their sounds to spell it.  Praise them for any sounds they get.


They should spell the sight words correctly and use phonetic spelling for the "tricky" words.  Your reinforcement of this at home is crucial to your child's writing development.    

Draw a picture to go with your sentence.   Here's a link to the share paper if you'd like to get a head start on this over the weekend.  This is due any day but Friday.

***When writing letters and numbers:  every child is at different levels here.  Find an appropriate practice time for your child.  Some children may be able to write all their numbers (no need for these students to practice) while some may need to focus on numbers 1-10 first.  The same applies to writing letters.  Meet your child where he/she.
