Crack the code: Teaching sentences that stick!
Why do pupils need to develop strategies for sentence building?
Understanding sentence structures helps children express their thoughts clearly and effectively, both in writing and speech.
Solid sentence skills are critical for success in upper primary, secondary school, and across all subjects—not just English.
The ‘Daily Sentence Structures’approach has been proven to raise attainment across all abilities. The systematic approach appeals especially to boys, who will enjoy applying logic to their writing and being able to create instant paragraphs.
This Teacher’s Guide takes key sentence structures and breaks them down into a series of 15-minute lessons that build on each other. All pupils’ confidence and self-esteem will increase when they have this fool-proof system for creating imaginative and interesting writing at their fingertips.
Children will quickly learn to:
- Use a variety of different sentence structures from short, dramatic sentences to sentences with subordinating conjunctions and clauses
- Develop complex sentences using clauses
- Vary the length, structure and subject of sentences to extend meaning and interest the reader
- Include a wider range of conjunctions in their writing
- Use a range of punctuation for effect
- Vary the pace to create atmosphere
With these short daily lessons, you’ll see improvements in as little as eight weeks!
