Sentence Writing Practice: Seasonal and Holiday Themed Worksheets

Do any of your students struggle to write a complete sentence? What about being able to identify a fragment or a run-on? Or how about knowing how to combine ideas in two sentences into a single sentence? The reality is that so many of our students in upper elementary struggle to write at the sentence level… which impacts their reading and writing in a big way. This resource gives you a quick and easy sentence writing practice that will help your students learn how to improve their sentence writing ability… and the best part is that this resource includes holiday and seasonal themed worksheets to last you the entire year.

If you’ve loved our original Sentence-Writing Routine, then you’ll love this seasonal/holiday themed variation of that routine.

HERE’S WHAT THE SEASONAL SENTENCE WRITING PRACTICE LOOKS LIKE:

For each worksheet, your students will get a seasonal or holiday-themed picture that they will use as inspiration to complete the following sentence writing tasks.

• Task 1: Build a Sentence
• Task 2: Write 4 Types of Sentences (Statement, Question, Command, Exclamation)
• Task 3: Find and Fix a Fragment
• Task 4: Combine Sentences
