Description
Between the ages of 4-5 years of age, typically developing children start to form sentences containing relative clauses (Barako Arndt & Schuele (2013)). A relative clause is a subordinate clause that specifies or gives information about a person or a thing. They come after nouns or pronouns; and often begin with a relative pronoun such as “who”, “that”, or “which”. For example:
-
- The librarian who was saving up for a car caught the bus to work every weekday.
- The snake that had the yellow spots and red stripes was highly venomous.
- The lawnmower, which is in the garage, needs a service.
Many children need to understand and use sentences containing relative clauses – including some children with developmental language and learning disorders, and some people learning English as s second language. This resource is designed to give children lots of practice with relative clauses in sentences.
