Add a Where Detail

Name:                              
Date:              

Today I am practising: adding a place phrase to make a sentence more specific

1

The dog runs ___. Add in the yard and write the full sentence.

2

We read ___. Choose at school or under the bed. Explain which makes sense.

3

A fish swims ___. Write a place that fits.

4

Compare I draw. and I draw at my desk. Circle the sentence that tells more.

5

Write a sentence about playing. Add where you play.

6

Read your sentence to an adult. Point to the words that tell where.

Grown-up guide
  1. Read the base sentence and the expanded sentence with natural pauses so the added information is audible.
  2. Offer two realistic place choices before asking for an invented one.
  3. Keep attention on the added detail; do not turn this into a spelling test.
