What do children learn about sentences in 1st grade?
First graders learn that a sentence is a complete thought with a naming part and a telling part. They capitalize the first word, names and the word I, and choose a period, question mark or exclamation mark. After this unit, a child should write several clear sentences about one topic.
How can RepeatWatch help with sentence writing?
Loop one explanation, such as when to use a question mark, with an A–B loop while your child writes an example of their own. Use 0.75× for a tricky rule, save each rule to keys 1–9, and set Stop after N loops to keep practice short.
Frequently asked questions
What is a sentence fragment?
A fragment is a group of words that is missing part of a complete thought, such as “The big dog.” Homeschool Pop’s Sentence Fragments lesson shows how to add the missing part so it becomes a full sentence, like “The big dog ran home.”
Are these videos only for 1st grade?
No. Some videos, such as the types of sentences lessons, are also used in 2nd grade. Grade levels vary by country and school, and ages are given for readers outside the US. The playlist introduces the sentence skills most first graders practice.
