Every day I provide my son with a couple 2-4 sentences and I ask him to correct them.
You can do this in your homeschooling notebook, with chalk on the floor, or on a board.
Here are a few examples,
Amy haz many stickers. (has)
She keps them in a big book. (keeps)
The stickers ar very pretty. (are)
Max the chalk uses. (uses the chalk.)
He a dog draws. (draws a dog.)
The dog is beig. (big)
jake has a new book. (Jake)
It IS about birds (is, .)
A sentence is a group of words that tells acomplete thought. It begins with a capital letter and ends with a punctuation mark (.?!).
I like to use Vachel Lindsay "The Little Turtle" poem.
THE LITTLE TURTLE by Vachel Lindsay
There was a little turtle.
He lived in a box.
He swam in a puddle.
He climed on the rocks.
He snapped at a mosquito.
He snapped at a flea,
He snapped at a minnow.
And he snapped at me.
He caught the mosquito,
He caught the flea,
He caught the minnow.
But he didn't catch me.
