Build-A-Sentence Pack
Made by Liesl at
http://thehomeschoolden.blogspot.com/
I made this set to work with my first grader on building interesting sentences. Here are my
plans for them:
● The first couple of pages are filled with ideas. She'll go through and create sentences
(silly or not) to write in her journal.
● Next we'll work together to brainstorm ideas for some of the other themed sheets.
Again she'll go on to write sentences (silly or not) in her writing journal.
● Finally, I hope she'll be able to brainstorm on her own on a few of these sheets and
use them to write her own sentences.
● I plan to encourage her to add adjectives and descriptive words to the nouns/subject
words.
● I doubt we'll use all of these sheets (who knows?!) but I wanted a lot of choice to
pique her interest.
