Sentence Styling tence Introduction The art of sentence styling is an indispensable part of good compositions. In effect, a well-constructed sentence is like an art, the result of sound craftsmanship. It requires: good construction, appropriate punctuation, rhythm, clear expression, logical arrangement, vocabulary and figurative language. Students may learn to write better sentences as they learn other skills. They imitate the models of those who have that skills – such as writers and authors, just as they would in learning to play tennis, chess or solve math problems. However, in order to develop one’s own inimitable style and voice – be it playful or serious, dramatic or forceful, they will have to find new patterns of writing. Success in writing does not happen instantly. It takes a long time, painstaking work and perseverance to see results. At Hello Writer we understand the struggles of today’s young writers and have thus developed a series of workshops to help scaffold their writing. Known as “Sentence Styling”, each workshop introduces a number of sentence patterns followed by consolidation practices. Our training aims at inspiring young learners what good writing is and show them how they can develop such skills with grace and flair, variety and style, passion and creativity. Let your child enjoy a new writing experience with us: an invaluable experience on the art of sentence styling; an experience of self-discovery and infinite possibilities.
