In this 21-page no preparation pack of scaffolded sentences, we target the very common Subject-Verb-Adverb structure. Most typically developing children acquire this pattern at about the age of 24-30 months. But many people – including people learning English as a second language, and people with developmental language disorders, take longer and need practice to acquire it.
For beginners, our simple, compound sentence and complex sentence sentence builders are a great way to start, with highly structured practice and lots of repetitions.

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.
