The Best Simple Sentences for Kindergarten

There are so many fulfilling perks to teaching kindergarten, but near the top of the list is teaching students how to read.  I think one of the best parts of literacy instruction is seeing the excitement in my students’ eyes when they start reading sentences!  Once students are ready to take that step, it’s just a matter of keeping up that momentum and excitement with additional practice.  In this post, I’m sharing some of my favorite ways to use simple sentences for kindergarten reading instruction.

Are My Students Ready for Reading Sentences?

Before we can expect young learners to read even simple sentences, it’s important to make sure they have the right foundation. The road to reading sentences includes important milestones such as:

• Identifying letters by name

• Identifying the sounds that letters make

• Blending sounds together to read words

• Reading words fluently in isolation, including sight words

Plus, between each milestone is a variety of phonemic and phonological awareness skills that need to be mastered in order to build a solid foundation for reading.

Once this foundation is in place, students are ready to begin reading words within sentences. Keep reading if you’d like to sneak a peek at the simple sentences that I use with kindergarten students when they’re ready to take this exciting step!

Simple Sentences for Kindergarten

There are many ways to practice reading sentences in kindergarten.  Below are some of my favorite ways to incorporate simple sentences into literacy instruction. I love that these activities are perfect for literacy centers, morning work, small group intervention, or even homework! These activities also grow with students, so that they can read more challenging sentences as they learn more phonics patterns and master additional high frequency words.

Sight Word Fluency Sentences

When students first start reading words within sentences, it’s helpful to start with predictable text.  I find that sight word fluency sentences are perfect for this! 

These simple sentences often arrange the sight words in a predictable pattern, such as “I see a cat. ” and “I see a pig.”  This means that students can practice decoding words within sentences while building their sight word fluency.  It’s a win-win!

Read and Reveal Sentences

Hands-on activities will help students stay engaged in reading practice.  Read and reveal cards are always a hit with students!  This activity has students read simple sentences on a card, then unclip the flap to reveal a picture that corresponds to the sentence.  Students will use their comprehension skills to decide if the sentence they read makes sense with the picture they just uncovered.

Since this adds an element of self-correction to the activity, read and reveal cards are perfect for literacy centers, morning work, or even a fast finisher activity. The fine motor practice from using clips for this activity is an added bonus!

Sentence Scramble Activities

As students grow more comfortable with reading sentences, they will start to get a feel for the natural rhythm of language and word order.   This, in turn, will help improve reading fluency. One of my favorite ways to help students understand and practice word order is with sentence scramble activities.  After putting a sentence in the correct order, they can practice reading it fluently. 

You can add some cutting practice by having the students cut out the scrambled words themselves.  Plus, having the word strips available to move around helps students in the task of unscrambling each sentence.

Sentence Dictation

Writing activities are another way that I incorporate simple sentences into literacy instruction. When students write sentences, they are able to practice their phonics skills in a different, yet still very important, way.   Sentence dictation is a great activity that incorporates many kindergarten skills!

After listening to a simple sentence, students will use their phonics skills to write each word in the sentence.  Then they will use their fine motor skills to form the letters and words in the sentence.   Finally, students will practice reading what they wrote as they decide if their written sentence matches what the teacher said. Sentence dictation doesn’t have to take a lot of time!  If you have whiteboards and markers out for a different activity, do a quick sentence dictation before having the students put things away.

Sight Word Sentence Strips

This is another activity that incorporates writing as students practice reading sentences.  Students can use these sight word sentence strips to practice decoding sentences fluently as they practice writing them as well.

 Once these strips are laminated for durability, students can use dry erase marker to practice letter formation as they copy each sentence. This is another activity that students can work on independently during literacy centers or morning work time.

Since these sight word sentences are prepped and on binder rings, you can also take them on the go for even more practice! Use them as “password” flashcards: Have each student read a sentence from the bundle before entering the cafeteria, going outside for recess, or leaving for the day.   

Kindergarten Reading Fluency Passages

Young learners get so excited when they can start reading passages with multiple sentences!  This is why I love to use kindergarten reading fluency passages. Students are able to review phonics patterns and high frequency words as they improve their reading fluency and comprehension skills. 

After students have had time to practice each passage in the classroom, I encourage them to take it home and read it to friends and family.  They are always so excited to show off their reading skills!

The Fedorov family (group No. 3).

Thanks to the staff of the kindergarten.

We, the parents of kindergarten No. 235, group No. 7, want to express our gratitude to the head of Sergeeva Elena Valentinovna. Under her leadership, improvements in the life of the kindergarten are noticeable. The groups have all the conditions for the development of children, according to the age category. For our children, the chefs cook in the renovated kitchen. The territory of the garden is always put in order. All wishes and comments of parents are taken into account. At parent meetings, questions on the work of the kindergarten are always discussed, reports on the work done are always carried out. Everyone knows that the work of a manager requires an attentive and reverent attitude towards each employee, while remaining quite strict and demanding in the performance of duties. in our opinion, Elena Valentinovna is such a leader.

Separately, we want to note the work of our educators Volkova Svetlana Borisovna, Kravets Galina Nikolaevna, speech therapist Chistova Olga Alexandrovna and assistant teacher Mikheeva Valentina Anatolyevna. We would like to note their high professionalism in difficult work with children. We, parents, always look with great interest at all the creative works of our children, which are exhibited in the locker room of the group. It is impossible not to note their work with parents, they will always explain, give advice, our requests and comments are never left without attention. At the children's laying, the teachers made a labyrinth and a slide of snow, which the children really like. At matinees, we watch a small performance with great pleasure and pride, where teachers with our children dance, dance and read poetry! It is always unforgettably interesting. We would like to note the work of our speech therapist. Both group and personal classes are held with children. Of course, we, parents, immediately noticed the positive result of these classes. Our children do their homework with great pleasure, which Olga Aleksandrovna spends with them during the week. Thanks to the teacher's assistant Valentina Anatolyevna, the group is always perfectly clean and tidy. Which is very important for every parent. Of course, the work of specialists (music director, educators in physical education, mathematics, drawing and modeling) makes the stay of children in kindergarten more interesting and varied.

Step by step, under the strict guidance of these educators, our children learn about the world around them, learn to be friends and respect each other, learn to work independently, learn personal opportunities taking the child to kindergarten, it is very important for any parent that the stay in the group is as comfortable as possible. And with our children a real team of professionals is nearby, so we leave our children with a calm heart, as we are sure that they will be fed on time, looked after, and, most importantly, trained and properly educated!

Parents of group No. 7: Kuryleva O.V., Skvortsova O.V., Danilova T.S., Antonova E.N. 03/22/2013

Thanks!

We would like to express our gratitude to the teachers of group No. 6, kindergarten No. 235 Tatyana Vladimirovna and Anzhela Mikhailovna. Wonderful teachers: caring, loyal and friendly to both children and parents, have an amazing ability to find a special approach to each child. They conduct developmental classes with the children, sculpt, draw, dance and sing, learn poems and songs (the children even sing at home). Our educators put so much soul into their work, and what matinees they spend with the kids!!! Parents leave the holidays with a lot of positive emotions.

I would also like to note the skillful and sensitive leadership of the head of the kindergarten, Elena Valentinovna, who creates order in the garden, a friendly and warm atmosphere, and always keeps in touch with parents. After all, without her competent guidance, there would probably not be such teachers working with our children.

Thank you so much for everything you do for our kids!

Our nursery is the BEST!!!

Dear Svetlana Vladimirovna, Rimma Pavlovna and Svetlana Konstantinovna!

Thank you very much for taking care of the smallest children in the kindergarten. You have done a great job teaching our children to count, play, dance, sing and much, much more.

Thank you very much for being you!

Kindergarten No. 235 is the best kindergarten in the city!

Yesterday I bought stationery in the store, and the seller asked me if I was taking my child to an expensive kindergarten. I answered that in the most ordinary kindergarten. “Although,” I said, raising my head proudly, “our kindergarten is the best kindergarten in the city according to the results of the current year. And I want to tell you about the best group, in my opinion, the best kindergarten.

For two years we were happy to go to the 10th group. And when the time came to move to the mass, of course, there was a lot of unrest about this. Firstly, I was anxiously waiting for a meeting with new teachers, because. it seemed to me that it could not be better than our former educators. Secondly, Nastya's character had formed a difficult one by this time. She does not accept all adults unconditionally. There were also not unfounded fears that a certain kind of friction and misunderstanding might arise. Thirdly, they were afraid how she would join the already established children's team. Will she find friends there, because children are now difficult, and for a child at this age, communication in a children's team is no less important than with adults. And the most important fear was that there were 2 times more children in the mass group than in the previous one. It seemed to me then that no even the most wonderful teacher could cope with thirty screaming, laughing and crying children of this age at the same time. And that day has come!

We came to the 4th group. It was very disturbing. Nastya was hiding behind me, and she clearly did not intend to make contact. But, having reached the stairs to the second floor, it seemed to us that we were in a fairy-tale meadow flooded with sun, where butterflies were flying around. Such an effect was created by bright curtains and multi-colored iridescent butterflies skillfully attached to the walls. The mood immediately improved, even Nastya decided not to cry yet. After all, the educators who invented and made such beauty cannot be not kind and friendly. The junior teacher Elena Stanislavovna met us. Friendly, active, with kind eyes and a soft, "home" smile. She answered my questions very clearly and competently. Somehow she quickly found a common language with Nastya and went with her to the group. I was surprised: what professional junior educators work in kindergarten. From the very first day, I was completely sure that we were lucky again. In any case, I went to work that day without waiting for the “concert” from my daughter, which I was very glad about. Having taken Nastya home in the evening, I listened to a bunch of positive reviews about Elena Stanislavovna. And even Nastya promised not to cry tomorrow if there was again a “beloved nanny” in the group, as to this day, Nastya calls Elena Stanislavovna.

We began to wait for the release of our tutors. But there were no more worries about it. I have already seen the group prepared for the children by the teachers. This is a very cozy room, with such a variety of toys, which, I'm sure, is not even in many apartments. All toys are in good condition. And among them there are many developing ones. The new furniture, which is so skillfully arranged, that despite the small space, the group does not look cramped and cluttered. All around cleanliness and comfort. All this characterizes our educators as good housewives, creative personalities and, what is most important for me, not indifferent people. In addition, I heard a lot of good reviews about them from people whose opinion I tend to listen to. In short, we were looking forward to meeting them.

I write in such detail about my first impressions, because. I still feel the same enthusiastic feelings for them now. And I can say with confidence that our teachers: Tatyana Vladimirovna and Olga Anatolyevna are the best teachers not only in our kindergarten, but also in the city. In no case do I want to offend the beloved teachers of other children, but I am the author of this letter, and I can have my own opinion. I will give a few examples so as not to be unfounded. I often come for the child early. Now I have already got used to the silence in the group during classes or meals, but let's not forget that there are thirty children there. How can you maintain interest, teach something to so many children? I don’t understand how you can be with so many children in the same room all day. And yet I never heard them even raise their voices. I have not seen a single child who would be injured in the group or not calmed down if he fell. With just a look, calmness, professional wisdom, they resolved the emerging conflicts. Our educators gently, with their very appearance, have a sobering effect not only on naughty children, but also on us parents. I have never seen one of the parents speak rudely to any of them. It's just not possible. I, as a quick-tempered person by nature, often learn from them patience and sincere love (note, for other people's children). Rarely does a caregiver become a de facto member of the family, whose opinion is sought after and valued. And Olga Anatolyevna and Tatyana Vladimirovna became truly second mothers for our children.

I am sure that for a long time, even when we leave for school, we will come to our beloved teachers for advice, and just share our joy. After all, we are already used to the fact that next to us there are such responsive and attentive, balanced and not indifferent, creative and highly qualified teachers.

I could write a lot about those exhibitions and show jumping in which our educators and their pupils took part, became prize-winners and winners. The number of creative works, surprises, drawings and crafts that Nastya brought home simply cannot be counted. How many merry holidays and entertainments passed in the group, not a single child's birthday was left without attention. I especially remember the musical performance in which Nastya played Baba Yaga. The child wants to go to kindergarten and sincerely loves his teachers. And this is the most important thing, because I can safely trust them with my daughter while I'm at work.

And I would also like to note that our educators are just beautiful young women who are raising wonderful children who have succeeded as mothers and as housewives. Thus, they set a positive example for the younger generation, especially girls. An example of the fact that in our time you can successfully make a career and be happy in your personal life.

Summing up the above, I would like to say “many thanks” to the head of the kindergarten, Elena Valentinovna, for keeping a wonderful team, despite the fact that the state almost does not help her in this. I wish patience, joy and health to the wonderful teachers - Olga Anatolyevna and Tatyana Vladimirovna. After all, including the best educators make our garden the best in the city. Thank you very much for our children!

English-Russian Kindergarten "From A to Z"

(5-7 years)

At this age, the child rapidly develops self-esteem, self-awareness, the desire for versatile communication. There is an interest in future schooling, awareness of the need for educational activities. There is a formation of the motivational sphere and the development of a new social position. At this stage, there is a transition from playing activity to learning. In close cooperation with a psychologist, educators and teachers carefully prepare each child for school, taking into account individual characteristics. The priority direction is the development of the cognitive and speech sphere of the child (the formation of a holistic picture of the world, communication skills in two languages ​​- Russian and English.

English items

1. Cambridge. Basic English course in our kindergarten. The study of English is based on the Cambridge educational program. We work with textbooks selected specifically for each age by the representative office of Cambridge University Press. As part of the course, we deepen language skills, including listening, building vocabulary, studying grammar and writing. At the end of the program, the child can confirm the successful development of the Cambridge English International Exam and receive a certificate of Pre A1 Starter level.
2. Reading and Writing. Teaching reading and writing in English. In the classroom, children learn to listen to English speech, understand simple sentences, including questions. Able to read short texts. We pay special attention to typing English letters and combinations, we learn to write sentences.
3. Speaking Practice. Lesson with a native speaker. The main goal of the classes is the development of dialogic and monologue skills. In the story game, children learn to communicate freely in a foreign language and get acquainted with a foreign culture.
4. Science and Art. World around in English. Children learn elementary experiments and observations, studies connections and processes in nature.

Russian subjects

1. Literacy education. The child receives a general understanding of speech (oral and written). In the classroom, children learn to divide speech into sentences, sentences into words, words into syllables using graphic diagrams. The child gets acquainted with the selection of sounds (vowels and consonants), stress in words. At this age, gradual learning takes place in the correct and smooth syllabic reading aloud of individual words, short sentences and small texts that are accessible to children in terms of content. In classes with a speech therapist, we develop the ability to listen and understand fiction, the ability to delve into the content of adult speech. In the classroom, we teach a leisurely pace and rhythm of speech, correct speech breathing, moderate volume and correct intonation.
2. Mathematics. We form basic knowledge, skills and abilities in mathematics with the help of the program "Player" L.G. Peterson E.E. Kochemasova. Peterson's methodology is built on the principle of a "layer cake": knowledge is taught to children in a simple and accessible form, and the child, as it were, "layers" new information on existing knowledge. Peterson's methodology is as close as possible to the real world, which is especially important at an early stage in the development of preschool children. Classes resemble an exciting game, which increases interest in the learning process and greatly facilitates it, causes positive emotions and interest in children.
3. Psychology. Classes with a psychologist are based on the program Kurazheva N.Yu., Varaeva N.V. "Flower-seven-flower". The program allows you to smoothly introduce the child to learning activities and effectively prepares for school.
