Sentence Structure Worksheets

We want our students to be better writers and communicators. How do we get them there? What is the best use of our classroom time?

Students who have a hard time writing papers usually have a poor grasp on sentence structure. Teaching them how to make sentences is a great way to improve their confidence.

Once students can confidently express themselves, writing papers becomes easier. So, I believe there is great value in teaching students about sentence structure. This page features some resources that I created to do so.
