Sentences are the foundation to successful writing. Below you will find three different interactive, kid-friendly tools that systematically teach students to develop complete and sophisticated sentences.
This course includes unique hands-on manipulative tools utilized to guide students in the formation of powerful, concise, and varied sentences so they communicate their ideas into academic writing. Plus, unique and adorable animated characters teach word choice, style and clarity, as well as grammar, capitalization, and punctuation!
To begin, children ask the subject and predicate questions (red section on chart) to capture their ideas while simultaneously forming complete and coherent sentences. After that, they develop the questioning techniques to add adjectives (yellow section) and modifiers (green section) to elaborate and expand their ideas to form more complex sentences.
The Sentence Builder Cards include the parts of speech (adjectives, nouns and verbs), modifiers (how, why, where, and when), and Terrific Transitions (transition words to connect sentences or signal words to cue the reader that a new sentence or paragraph is beginning).
This laminated, interactive chart (33” X 22”) uses color-coded manipulative “Parts of Speech” and “Secret Formula” cards to demonstrate many strategies and skills for sophisticated sentence writing. This tool may be used to build elaborate, well-developed topic sentences/thesis statements or story openings. Also, the Sentence Builder is a supportive visual for the complex task of sentence revising, which includes adding phrases/text, deleting phrases/text, moving phrases/text, and replacing simple words with higher-level, precise vocabulary. Another use for this tool is to identify and move the modifiers (green cards: why, how, when, and where) in a sentence.
