For building strong, accurate sentences across the whole class.
A short daily routine that explicitly teaches capitals and punctuation, combining sentences, vocabulary precision and adding detail, so stronger sentences show up in students' own writing.
Common questions
What is Sentence of the Day?
Sentence of the Day is a short, explicit sentence-level writing routine. Four days a week, students work on one carefully crafted sentence, learning a new skill and a new Tier 2 vocabulary word at the same time.
What are the four steps in the routine?
Every week follows the same four steps: Capitals & Punctuation, Combining Sentences, Vocabulary Precision and Adding Detail. Because the routine never changes, students can put their energy into the writing rather than working out what to do.
Do students need worksheets?
No. Students respond on mini whiteboards or in their books, and everything you need is on the slides.
Which year levels is it for?
There are 10-week narrative routines for Years 3, 4, 5 and 6, plus 5-week themed units for Year 2, Years 3–4 and Years 5–6 that match the Reading Fluency and Quick Write units.
