Are your students stuck at labeling their pictures and freezing when it’s time to write sentences? Today we’re tackling this super common writing hurdle with strategies that actually work in a real kindergarten classroom. With simple, supportive ideas to help students go from oral storytelling to complete sentences.

In this episode I share:

1. How to move from ideas to full thoughts on paper
2. Why oral storytelling and drawing are key first steps
3. The power of underlining and sentence mapping
4. The one thing to focus on before adding more sentences
5. A logical order for teaching spaces, punctuation, and capitals
6. Easy sentence starters that build confidence and independence
7. How to support students in small groups without doing the writing for them
