Kindergarten Copywork: Match the Model
Name:
Date:
Today I am practising: checking a copied sentence against a model one feature at a time
1
Copy: A pig can dig.
2
Point to the first word in the model and your copy.
3
Count the words in both sentences.
4
Circle a word that matches exactly.
5
Check whether the last mark matches.
6
Tell an adult one thing your copy matches and one thing you will check next time.
- Cover all but one word pair if comparing a whole sentence feels busy.
- Use match language rather than calling a difference a mistake.
- Let the child choose one feature to check at a time.
