Build a Halloween Sentence for English Learners
Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher
"Build a Halloween Sentence for English Learners" is written for Kindergarten to 2nd Grade (Ages 5-8). Children a grade either side can use it too: younger ones with an adult reading it aloud, older ones as a quick refresher.
Build a Halloween sentence for English learners, K to 2nd grade: a picture word bank and 6 sentence frames like I see a bat, with lines to write. Part of our sentence writing ell resources collection.
How do I use this resource?
Read each frame aloud with the picture, let the student choose a word from the bank, then read the finished sentence back before writing it. The frames repeat on purpose, so the sentence pattern sticks. Pair a newcomer with a buddy to read the sentences to each other.
What students will practice
- Gives Kindergarten ELL students print-and-go practice with vocabulary, sentence openers, and beginning sounds.
- Builds foundational English language skills through short, focused pages instead of one long lesson.
- Supports small-group instruction, a language center, or extra practice time built into the day.

Can I use this sentence writing resource for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for Kindergarten to 2nd Grade ell resources, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with sentence writing. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.
