Resource Description
Just because a sentence may be “simple” doesn’t mean it’s easy to write. Now you can shed some light on the subject (and the verb) of Simple Sentences with this effective instructional program. Students will learn basic grammar terms as well as how to write and check several types of Simple Sentences.
Sentence Writing Strategy is appropriate for students who need a thorough grounding in basic concepts and terms, such as "subject," "verb," or "infinitive." It can be used as a developmental writing curriculum or as a quick set of lessons to improve students' understanding of these concepts. Additionally they learn to recognize and write 14 sentence patterns with four types of sentences: simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex.
In studies, students who have learned the Sentence Writing Strategy consistently produce written products that contain 100 percent complete sentences and at least 40 percent complicated sentences. Their written products include more words, more sentences, and a greater variety of sentences than those of low-achieving students who have not learned the strategy.
The Strategic Instruction Model is a comprehensive, research-validated approach to adolescent literacy that addresses the needs of students to be able to read and understand large volumes of complex materials as well as their need to be able to express themselves effectively in writing.
