Read the sentence to the students, and have the students read the sentence back.
Cut the sentence apart and mix up the words on the table. Do not cut the end punctuation mark away from the last word of the sentence.
Ask the students which word will be at the beginning of the sentence. If the students cannot pick out the first word, guide them to understand that the word that begins with the capital letter should be the first word of the sentence. Place this word back in the pocket chart.
Next, ask the students which word will be the last word in the sentence. If they have trouble picking out the last word, guide them to understand that the word with the mark of punctuation comes at the end of the sentence. Place this word back in the pocket chart at the end of the line.
