Getting Started with Elementary School Sentence Composing: A Student Worktext

“Sentence composing provides acrobatic training in sentence dexterity. It uses literature as a writing school with a faculty of professional writers who virtually teach students to build better sentences.” - Don and Jenny Killgallon Getting Started with Elementary School Sentence Composing introduces the powerful Sentence-Composing approach at a perfect time ― elementary school ― to give students a strong foundation in writing. Using real sentences by authors as models, the approach provides practice with four tools that skilled writers use to build strong sentences: Openers to vary sentence beginnings Splits to vary sentence middles Closers to vary sentence endings Mixes to add details in two or three places Along the way, Don and Jenny Killgallon provide support for students, including: Basic sentence training – activities to understand subjects, predicates, and their roles in sentence building Broken sentences – exercises to identify, repair, and avoid fragments Vocabulary scaffolds – “quickshots” to include an immediate, clear definition in context for challenging words
