What this worksheet practices

How to use this worksheet

  1. 1

    Read each sentence aloud before choosing. Ears catch “the children runs” faster than eyes do.

  2. 2

    Use your child’s own writing for a follow-up: finding one compound sentence or one possessive in their journal makes the rule stick.

  3. 3

    On the synonym sheet, act out the “weakest to strongest” words — whisper, talk, shout — to feel the difference in meaning.
