Teach Sentence Skills in Three Easy Stages Children learn to write sentences easily and proficiently when handwriting instruction follows the three stages of learning. 1.

Copy a Sentence: At the second stage, children look at a sentence and copy it, trying to match the model. 3. Write a Sentence Independently: At this stage, students must work without a demonstration or a model. The transitional activity requires the teacher to dictate each letter, space, and punctuation. Finally, children will write a sentence independently. By following this procedure when teaching sentences, children will quickly learn how to write letters within a word as well as when and how to use spacing and punctuation.
