Thanksgiving Secret Sentence | Beginning Sounds and Handwriting

Turn a row of pictures into a sentence. Children say each picture name, listen for its beginning sound, and write the matching letter. After reading the hidden sentence, they copy it on primary handwriting lines and color the picture.

This 35-page US Letter PDF includes thirty original Thanksgiving and fall sentences, an illustrated A to Z picture key, a teacher guide, and two answer pages. The first fifteen puzzles use shorter sentences. The second set gives children longer words or more words to read. A star marks the capital at the beginning, and each puzzle supplies its ending punctuation.

Print the pages you need at actual size. Keep the picture key nearby for a small group, or let children use it independently at a literacy center. Use the puzzles for kindergarten or first-grade phonics, morning work, early finishers, or handwriting practice.
