WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE SPIN A SENTENCE HANDWRITING ACTIVITY?
Students spin to create sentences and can work on answering who, what, when and where questions. You can use your own classroom paper or journals, or the writing sheet included for students to write their sentences and draw a picture. They are also asked if their sentence is fiction or nonfiction.
For best results print on cardstock. Leave the main board on a full sheet of paper. Cut out the two smaller wheels and laminate all three parts. Fasten together with a brad. Students turn the wheels a few times and then pick a character from the middle then follow out to the other part of their sentence or story.
This set includes spinners for Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall, along with some general spinners that can be used any time throughout the year.
WHEN IS A GOOD TIME TO USE THIS SPIN A SENTENCE HANDWRITING PACKET?
Great for a writing center, small group activity, occupational therapy activities, early finishers or leave for a substitute. The perfect literacy center activity for learning how to write a sentence. Spinners with and without visuals to help emerging readers with context to understand what they will be writing about. Have them practice writing sentences with correct letter formation, baseline adherence, and spacing between words to work on improving their handwriting skills.
OT Tip: Have students use short pencils and write on an incline or vertical surface to promote a more functional grasp.
