Telling sentences, or declarative sentences, are all about conveying a clear and complete message. Here are some core “rules” to keep in mind when writing good telling sentences for kindergarten:

Basic Structure in Telling Sentences for Kindergarten

Subject + Verb: This is the simplest and most common structure for telling sentences in kindergarten. It’s so simple that even a kindergartener can do it! For example, ‘The dog barks’.

Subject + Verb + Object: This adds more detail by stating who or what receives the action of the verb (e.g., “The girl throws the ball”).

Completeness

An excellent telling sentence expresses a complete thought and can stand alone. It’s like a puzzle piece that fits perfectly, not just a fragment of an idea.

Clarity:

The sentence should be easy to understand. Use clear and simple vocabulary that kindergarteners are familiar with.

Capitalization:

The first word of the sentence should be capitalized.

Punctuation:

A telling sentence ends with a period (.)

Here are some fun ideas for teaching asking sentences in kindergarten class!

Capitalize

The children are asked to rewrite the sentences in the printed worksheet and are to capitalize the first letter of each sentence.

Punctuating the sentences
