Sentence strips are made from a variety of materials, including acetate, paper, tagboard, laminated cardstock, plastic, polypropylene, and TPE.
Common formats include 1½" ruling with a ¾" dotted midline on one side and a single ruled line on the other. Wide-rule and plain-ruled options are also available for handwriting practice and sentence building.
Sentence strips target a range of ages. Some items are listed for children as young as 4 years and up, many reading-related strips are listed for 5 years and up, and a few teaching aids or flip charts are intended for adult use.
Laminated and dry-erase sentence sheets are described as durable, reusable, and wipe-clean, so they can be used repeatedly for handwriting and sentence practice and cleaned with a dry eraser or wipe.
Sentence strips are available in solid colors and assorted color packs for color-coding. Example assortments include Aqua, Light Green, Pink, Orange, and Yellow; reading guides are also offered in blue and yellow.
Related aids include double-sided flip charts for building sentences, laminated dry-erase sheets for handwriting practice, and reusable phonics/letter tiles with matching mats for hands-on sentence construction.
