Sentence Writing – Sequencing Writing and Transition Words Task Cards

Description

Do your students struggle to put sentences together in a way that flows? If sequencing writing and using transition words is a struggle, this set of writing task cards is just what you need.

I noticed that my students’ writing seemed robotic and “flat”. I wanted them to build from writing sentences that stood on their own to connecting sentences to make writing that flowed and built upon previous sentences.

I also wanted to make sure my students understand different writing strategies for building sentences that are more descriptive and detailed–before they had to put them into a longer piece of writing. These short writes are PERFECT practice–and students just love them!

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

This set of 24 task cards focused on “adding on” and connecting sentences 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 improve sentence writing so they are better prepared to use detailed sentences in their own writing.

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.
