Modern Montessori Reading: CVC Sentence Frames (subscription)

Early Reader Sentence Frames – Build Writing Independence and Confidence

These sentence frames are perfect for early readers who are ready to take the next step in writing! They are ideal for students who:

• Have experience with the moveable alphabet in Montessori classrooms
• Can read and write CVC words in a variety of forms
• Know all their letter sounds
• Have been introduced to high-frequency “heart words”

Why Teachers Love These Sentence Frames:
Most words in this resource are phonetic, with only a few non-phonetic words (see, the, look) to support early reading. Each page includes:

• A visual cue at the start to guide students on which word belongs at the end of the sentence
• Arrows to help students correctly form letters and build words independently

Includes: 

2 versions of each sentence frame:

I can see a...

Look at the ...

You can look at a ...

I went to see a ....

That is a ....

You can get in a .....

You can not get in a ...

It is in a ...

I am on a ...

I can get a ....

Can I see a ....?

Can I sit on a ....?

Learning Goals:
These sentence frames help students:

• Develop a strong vocabulary they can use independently in writing
• Gain a natural understanding of sentence structure
• Build confidence and independence as writers

Perfect for small group instruction, literacy centers, or one-on-one Montessori-style learning!

Tips for Use:
Model each sentence with your students first, demonstrating how to use the picture cue and follow the arrows for writing. Then, let students practice writing independently or with partners.
