Name:
Date:
Today I am practising: changing one sentence part while preserving a complete structure
1
Copy The dog runs in the yard. Change dog to cat.
2
Copy I read at home. Change home to school.
3
Copy The bird sings. Change sings to flies.
4
Circle what changed in: We play outside. / We play inside.
5
Write a new sentence by changing one part of The child draws at a desk.
6
Tell an adult which part you changed and how the meaning changed.
- Read the original and changed sentences side by side before the child writes.
- Name the part being changed—who, action, or where—so the child has a clear constraint.
- Check that the new sentence still begins with a capital and ends with a period.
