Sentence Building Worksheets

About this resource

Reading the words in a Who, a Does What and a Where column is one skill; picking the ones that belong together is another. Here every word bank is small and honest: the three choices under "Does What" or "Where" all belong to the one picture on the page, so there is nothing to paste that would not make a real sentence about it.

EVERYTHING INSIDE (40 pages)

• 24 student pages: 19 cut-and-paste fill-in pages (Set A 8 items over 4 pages, Set B 14 items over 7 pages, Set C 8 items over 8 pages) plus 4 Word Bank Match pages with no scissors (12 items) and 1 Sentence Helper page
• 30 fixed Who + Does What + Where triples across 10 pictures (3 sentences per picture), 10 pictures to color, 1 picture key
• 1 answer key, generated from the same 30 triples every page uses
• 1 tracker (all 30 items), 1 class progress grid
• 1 team note page and 1 home page with its own word bank to cut
• 1 filled example (an invented student), 1 phrase bank (16 starters), 1 binder cover, and 6 divider tabs with a spine label to cut out
• Start Here, a how-to-read-a-page page and a contents page that gives every page number

The Four Formats, Most Support To Least

1. Set A, Who + Where given, fill in Does What (4 pages, 8 items, 2 a page) — cut that picture's own 3 Does-What tiles, paste the right one, write the sentence.

2. Set B, Who + Does What given, fill in Where (7 pages, 14 items, 2 a page) — cut that picture's own 3 Where tiles, paste the right one, write the sentence.

3. Set C, Who only, build it all (8 pages, 8 items, 1 a page) — cut both word banks (3 Does-What + 3 Where tiles, that picture's own), paste both, write the sentence, then write one of the child's own.

4. Word Bank Match, no scissors (4 pages, 12 of the items above, 3 a page) — the same small word bank printed, not cut; the child reads it and writes the missing word.

Each page is marked with dots, not words, so the children at one table cannot see who has which level.

A Fixed Word Bank, Never A Free Mix

Every one of the 10 pictures has exactly 3 sentences of its own. A word bank on any page always shows that picture's own 3 choices — never a Does What or a Where borrowed from a different picture's sentences — so nothing a child can paste or write is outside the 30 sentences this store authored and lists on the answer key.

Built For The Child Holding The Page

A big "My name" line, one short instruction with a picture, large rounded letters, primary writing lines, and a light outline picture to color. Nothing on a student page is written for an adult.

Easy Cutting

Every word-bank tile is at least 0.9 inches on a side and sits edge to edge in a short row, so each cut is one straight line. Every cutting page carries 6 or 7 tiles, never fewer than 5.

The Pictures

The 10 Who pictures — boy, girl, cat, dog, pig, frog, duck, bird, rabbit, cow — are Google Noto Emoji, each checked against Microsoft Fluent Emoji High Contrast and printed as light outlines a child can color. Every picture was looked at once rendered.

Type In, Or Print

The name and date lines, the writing lines, the tracker, the class grid, the team note and the home page are type-in fields in any PDF reader. The pages print clean in black and white. This is a fillable PDF; it is not a Google Slides or PowerPoint file.

Who This Is For

Kindergarten and first grade classrooms, self-contained and resource rooms, and any teacher building sentence structure with a student who is not yet ready to write one from nothing. The home page sends the same job to a family; the team note hands off what changed since the last meeting.

What This Is, And What It Is Not

Sentence-building practice with the record-keeping around it. It is not a probe, a goal bank or a score sheet, not a reading assessment, and not a claim about any student's age or rate of progress.
