Speak, plan and write a clear sentence

Rehearse an idea aloud and turn it into a complete sentence.

Original Kidemy beginner self-study unit · Learn the idea, try the practical activity and review your written answers. Practise spoken delivery with a teacher or proficient listener. Teacher-led course approval and booking are separate.

Learn the idea

Speaking can help you plan writing. Say who or what the sentence is about, then what happens. Write the idea with a capital letter and a suitable ending mark. Read it back to check that you kept the meaning.

Worked example

Spoken idea: “bird…sings”. Written sentence: “The bird sings.” Add a detail: “The small bird sings.”

  1. Name the subject and its action.
  2. Write the sentence you meant to say.
  3. Check the capital letter and ending mark.
