Improving & Combining Sentences – Sentence Writing Task Cards – Print & Digital

Description

Do you teach students about improving and combining sentences? I have been looking for a fun and engaging way to try to help my students move from simple sentence writing to more interesting, descriptive sentences. By helping students add details to sentence writing, they become more powerful writers!

I also wanted to make sure my students understand different writing strategies for combining sentences into more complex sentences–a critical writing skill that is often a part of standardized testing!

Would you like to be able to have printable cards AND digital access all in one resource?

This set of 24 sentence “improving” and combining task cards is perfect to use as a practice opportunity for whole-class instruction, in literacy centers, or to use as an instructional tool when working with students needing extra practice in this area.

Cards are made with…

• easy-to-read font
• available in color and black and white
• includes several pictures of the resource in action
• blank cards so you can write your own versions!
• recording sheets
• full digital access

Many intermediate students need explicit coaching in different ways to make their basic sentences more complex and more interesting.

This resource allows you a simple and convenient way to showcase several different ways that are easy for students to grasp—and can help not only with improving their writing but also help prepare for standardized tests where sentence combining is often assessed.

Also included are several recording sheets and supplemental ideas to allow for flexibility of use.
