When do children start writing sentences?
In Reception children only start writing short sentences from Spring 2.
Top tip: Always look at the templates for each half term’s planning. These clearly state what to do. Some terms have different activities and so a different template, so always download the right one. They can be found at the top of each half term’s plans.
Please also refer to our ‘Practise and apply: Write the sentence’ ‘How to’ video.
