How to Use This Pack

Five pages of sentence scrambles, four sentences on each after a worked example. Each sentence's words are printed in a mixed-up row beside its picture: children read them, work out the order and write the sentence on the handwriting line below. The word with the capital letter starts the sentence and the word with the end mark finishes it. The sentences use the Dolch first grade words and words children can sound out, and each goes together only one way.

In the Classroom

Ask children to number the words in order above the row before they write, then read the sentence aloud. Early finishers can write a sentence of their own with two of the sight words on the page.

At Home

Read the mixed-up words with your child and ask which one starts the sentence. Let them read what they wrote back to you.

Tips for Success

  • Find the capital letter and the end mark first
  • Number the words before you write
  • Read the sentence to check it makes sense
  • Leave a finger space between words
  • Copy the mark at the end
