My Favorite Things

Introduce the skill with a brief whole-class activity, such as calling out examples and asking students to give a thumbs up when they hear my favorite things in a sentence. Then let students work through it with your modeling first (do the first item together on the board), then try the rest with a partner, referring to a class anchor chart if one is available. When reviewing answers, ask students to explain why an answer is correct rather than just confirming it. These my favorite things worksheets work well as a focused practice activity, a homework assignment, or a warm-up at the start of a language arts lesson.

These my favorite things worksheets for Kindergarten give students the targeted language arts practice they need to master this important grammar skill. Students identify, sort, complete, and write using my favorite things through a variety of exercises designed to reinforce both recognition and application. Our creative writing worksheets connect grammar practice to reading and writing so students see how my favorite things works in real language. Building a solid understanding of my favorite things in Kindergarten sets students up for stronger writing and clearer communication in every subject.

Yes, both. We made it for Kindergarten creative writing, 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 my favorite things. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

Because your child already knows the answer, so no effort goes into thinking of content. Everything is left over for getting words onto the page. Personal topics also produce more writing than assigned ones, in kindergarten and well beyond.

Ask why. "I like pizza" becomes two sentences the moment they explain why they like it. One well placed why is the most reliable way to double a kindergartener's writing.

Not while they are drafting. Phonetic spelling is exactly right at this age, and correcting it mid flow tends to shrink the writing to only the words a child is sure of. Praise the sounds they caught.

These are written for Kindergarten students, roughly ages 5-6. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.

Yes. Each one shows the Common Core code it covers on its own page, so you can check the alignment yourself rather than taking our word for it.

Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a Kindergarten classroom, a literacy centre, or a tutoring session.
