sentences or words onto the larger

model the appropriate way to write
a sentence.

Using Question Words

Explaining to students that all sentences must have a
subject and a predicate can be difficult for children who
struggle with abstract concepts.
Introduce question words to help students remember to
make complete sentences.
Students can form the subject of the sentence by
answering "who" or "what."
They can form the predicate part of the sentence by
answering "why," "where" or "how."
Graphic organizers with boxes to write the subject of the
sentence, plus the action words, along with the "how" or
"why" are a good visual guide for children learning to
write.

Example
