With New Year’s just around the corner, many teachers and students are still on holiday vacation, but when we return, it will be a brand new year!

Have this fun New Year’s cut and paste sentence printable ready to go for your kids to work on scissor skills, sight words, and handwriting!

New Year’s Cut and Paste Sentence Printable
We are working hard on our sight words in Kindergarten, and on sentence structure too.
For example, we are practicing reading words from left to right, and learning that sentences start with a capital and end with punctuation.
These cut and paste sentences help us not only read sight words, but form sentences, work on our cutting skills, and on our handwriting skills too.
Plus, we get to color, and trust me, that is always a fan favorite!
This sheet is super simple to prep, which is extra great for that busy first day back. Simply print, and that’s it!
Give each child their own sheet along with scissors, a glue stick, a pencil and crayons.
I especially like this printable because there is no year attached to it – so it works every New Year – no need to reprint!
You can do this in a small group or whole class. We typically talk about what the clues are for finding the start of a sentence (most often a capital letter) and also the last word in a sentence (period, question, or exclamation mark).
If a word is not a sight word, it will have a picture clue of some sort to indicate to the students what the word is and remind them when they see it. In this case, it is a “Happy New Year” sign.
If it is hard for kids to unscramble and form the sentence on their own to make sense, we often will do it as a whole group, and I will write the sentence on the board largely for them to see. This helps them as they are building and gives them a guide.
After they unscramble their sentence and glue it down, it’s time to write the sentence in their best handwriting!
I love that this gives them a chance to work on their printing in a way that makes them feel confident, since they have the guide of the sentence to follow.

Sight Word Sentences for the Year
Hello there,
I’m a mom to a 4 year old soon to be 5. My little one attends school but because of her birthday and the district we are in she is in PRE-K or ETK. My little one already knows her numbers to 15, knows her alphabets and phonics and also her shapes and colors. She wants to learn how to read but I’m stuck in how to teach her. With the winter break on us I wanted to show her but I think I’m doing more damage then good. Is there a way to show me. I’ve purchased some workbooks but she told me they are too easy and boring for her.
Hi Claudia! I have sent you an email so that we can chat more about this – I am happy to help. : )
Claudia,
Read to your daughter… find pattern books on Reading A-Z and read with her and read good books to her. She will learn to read on her own… just keep reading with and to her.
