I use K-5 Learning https://www.k5learning.com/ as a resource. Parents or Teacher Surrogates can peruse the choices and add on pages as you see your student is interested. The first link is for all the letters of the alphabet-students can choose ones we haven't already done in class. The 'joined letters' practice is also a helpful reminder for reading and phonics.

Team 2 ELA: Writing: Sentences

Lessons for Writing: Sentences

Teacher discusses with student that a sentence must be a complete thought. An action completed by someone or something. A sentence has a subject-the performer of the action and a predicate-an action.

Student may give examples of a complete sentence, telling subject and action.

Teacher and student discuss #1--is it a fragment or part or a sentence? Student answers.

When student understands, have him/her complete # 2.

Remember, teacher, one step at a time. Keeping a reasonable schedule-for example, having ELA at the same time each day (we had it at 8:00 am and sometimes at 11:00am)- will build security and interest in your homeschooling. When your student is clearly finished with the task, end the lesson on a positive note.
