Best Pet Opinion Writing

Read the page aloud and let your child tell you the choice before circling it. Ask "why do you like it?" and let your child draw the answer in the box. Trace the word together if your child needs help with the strokes, then check the page against the key.

Kindergarten opinion writing page about best pet. A grown-up reads the page aloud. An opinion tells what you think. The directions on the page read: Circle your pet. Then, trace its name. Then, circle a face. The answer key gives a marking guide and a model answer, since answers will vary.

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

CCSS W.K.1 asks kindergartners to tell a reader the topic and state an opinion or preference about it, using a mix of drawing, dictating and writing. On these sheets a child circles a favorite, traces its name and draws why, which is the same skill with the writing load kept small.

Ask why out loud before the child draws: "You picked dogs. What do you like about dogs?" Let the child say the reason first, then draw it in the box. A short sentence from you can be traced or copied if the child is ready.

Kindergartners practice opinion, informative and narrative writing through drawing, dictating and writing (CCSS W.K.1 to W.K.3), along with forming letters and starting a sentence with a capital. These pages keep the writing small: a child traces a word, draws a picture and a grown-up reads the directions aloud.

Start with the opinion pages, where a child picks a favorite and traces its name. Move to the narrative pages, which add first, next and last, then the informative All About pages and the writing process pages. Capital letters and writing practice pages can be mixed in at any point.

Yes. The new sheets are built around tracing and drawing, so a child can finish them before writing a sentence alone. Ask your child to say the sentence out loud while you point to each word.
