First Grade Simple Sentences (40 Fix-It Cards)

About this resource

What's inside this resource

Ten worksheet pages present forty scrambled sentence fragments, four per page. Each item gives a sentence starter of two or three words (such as 'Sam will') followed by a scrambled phrase ('the fix bike'), and students rewrite the full sentence in correct word order on the blank line below ('Sam will fix the bike'). The first item on the first page is completed as a worked example so students see the expected format before starting independently. A short directions page explains the task and notes that accompanying pictures help with comprehension.

Walk through the completed example on the first page together before students work independently, since it models the exact expected format.

Have students read their rewritten sentence aloud to self-check that the word order sounds correct.
