    (L236) Picture Description Scaffolded Sentence Maker: generate your own simple, compound and complex sentences

    $5.99 including GST

    For beginners, our simplecompound sentence and complex sentence sentence builders are a great way to start, with highly structured practice and lots of repetitions. But, to truly learn how to use sentence forms and to transfer those skills to conversation, story telling and other kinds of discourse, you need to generate your own sentences.

    This picture description resource is designed to help by providing a bridge between highly structured sentence-level exercises (like sentence builders) and discourse level text types (like narratives). Featuring 20 high quality, interesting photos, this resource includes scaffolds for sentence generation.

  • (R219) Listen then Write: ‘Old School’ Daily Sentence Dictation Practice

    $15.00 including GST

    In this 25-page no-prep resource, we target three things at once:

      • encoding (or spelling) targets that mirror decoding practice (e.g with decodable books);
      • high frequency sentence structures used in English; and
      • English sentence punctuation conventions.

    Our encoding and sentence structure targets are sequenced from simple to complex:

      • In Part A, we target simple sentence structures (like SV, SVO, SVC, SVA, and SVOA) requiring only knowledge of the basic code.
      • In Part B, we target compound sentence structures (using decodable conjoining conjunctions like “and”, “but”, “yet”, and “so”) requiring knowledge of split digraphs, how to encode two-syllable (decodable) polysyllabic words.
      • In Part C, we target complex sentence structures (using subordinating conjunctions, like “because”, “if”, “while”, “before”, “after”, “until”, “unless” “although”, and “otherwise”) and knowledge of high frequency extended code diphthongs and digraphs following the early Sounds Write sequence.
