Sentence Construction: Lay a Foundation for Strong Writing

Unlock the power of sentence construction! Strong sentence writing is essential for students to communicate clearly to an audience. In this webinar, educators will explore how to deliver explicit instruction on crafting meaningful sentences, empowering students to refine their word choice and sentence structure. Through hands-on practice with four research-based sentence-building activities, you’ll gain the tools to implement these strategies seamlessly in diverse K-8 classrooms. In addition, educators will learn how to integrate grammar instruction directly into these activities—an approach proven to significantly enhance student writing skills. Whether you’re a classroom teacher, reading specialist, or working with multilingual learners, you’ll leave equipped with practical, ready-to-use strategies that can transform your teaching the very next day. The session wraps up with dedicated time for your questions. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how to elevate your students’ writing!
