Sentences under Construction
The skill of composing sentences is foundational for developing writers.
Participate in a one day workshop about sentence writing. Multi-sensory, hands-on activities provide the instructional setting for anchor lessons about different kinds of sentences and sentence punctuation. These lessons include DIIE Sentences, Punctuation Array, and S-Cd-Cx Sentences. One of the most popular strategies is Zoom-in.
Target grades: K through 6.
