Writing

​

  • We begin the year by telling oral stories from our lives.

Then we transition to telling our stories through our pictures. Finally we begin to tell our stories by writing sentences.

​

  • Your child will begin to use invented spelling. Invented spelling is writing the sounds he/she hears in unknown words. Please encourage your child to write the sounds he/she hears in words.
      • friend----->frend

​

  • By the end of the year, kindergartners are expected to write a three part story with a beginning, middle, and end.
