About the Book

Help your students turn simple sentences into super sentences! Writing forms, writing-center activities, and a trait-based writing guide help you provide students with structured and motivating writing practice.

Book Synopsis

Help your students turn simple sentences into super sentences with the engaging writing activities in Write a Super Sentence!
Step-by-step directions guide students through the process of describing who, what, where, and when.

15 guided lessons help students learn a pattern for writing more compelling sentences:

• Step 1: Brainstorming
  Students start with a simple sentence then brainstorm ideas for adding who, what, where, and when words and phrases, as well as describing words.
• Step 2: Oral Sentences
  As students add more details to their sentences, they practice reading their new super sentences aloud. While trying out different combinations of descriptive words and phrases, students become actively involved in the writing process and gain a better understanding of the parts of a sentence.
• Step 3: Sentence Writing
  Now that they're full of ideas, students can begin to write their own sentences. Writing forms with fun illustrations motivate students to form super sentences. They can piece together the words and phrases from the brainstorming activity, or come up with words and phrases of their own.
• Step 4: Proof and Correct
  Students are encouraged to self-edit by reading their work aloud.

The Super Sentence writing center includes:

• sentence wheels
• pull-through sentences
• sentences-in-a-bag
• practice worksheets
