Who did what? Now you've got a sentence!
A complete sentence needs two things: who or what it's about, and what happens. Young readers and writers learn that a sentence starts with a capital, ends with punctuation and tells a complete thought. Next they meet the four kinds: telling, asking, exclaiming and commanding. Older kids work with subjects and predicates and combine short sentences into compound and complex ones: The dog barked, and the cat ran. The click comes when kids can hear a fragment and say, "Wait, who ran?"
Kids learn sentences fastest by building them, saying them and fixing them. Here's how we do all three.
Write subjects on yellow strips and predicates on blue strips. Kids snap one of each together to build a sentence, and the silly combos ("My teacher... ate a rocket") are half the fun. They quickly see that a sentence needs both colors.
Why it works: the U.S. Department of Education's guide for teaching elementary math recommends moving from hands-on objects to drawings to numbers.

Why it works: pairing a picture with each word gives kids two ways to remember it, a well-tested principle of how people learn (Mayer, 2009).

Why it works: handing over the work step by step, from teacher to student, is one of the most widely used teaching frameworks (Pearson and Gallagher, 1983).

A complete sentence has a subject (who or what) and a predicate (what they do or are), and it tells a complete thought. It starts with a capital letter and ends with a period, question mark or exclamation point.
Declarative sentences tell, interrogative sentences ask, exclamatory sentences show strong feeling, and imperative sentences give commands. Kids usually learn them in 1st and 2nd grade.
A simple sentence has one complete thought. A compound sentence joins two with a word like and, but or so. A complex sentence adds a part that can't stand alone, starting with words like because or when. Build examples from the same simple sentence so kids see the change.
Have them read their writing out loud and pause wherever their voice naturally stops. Each pause usually needs a period or a joining word. Reading aloud catches run-ons faster than rereading silently.
