Great resource! This was really great practice for my students and writing better sentences.
Allison Gingerich –
Another great resource to help students write better sentences. I like how each card asks students to add different aspects of grammar.

What a great resource! This was exactly what I needed in my program. It was exactly as described and was of high quality. It saved me hours of prep work, thank you very much!

Great way to get my students thinking more about their sentences and details.

THIS RESOURCE HAS BEEN AMAZING! ONE MIGHT NOT THINK HOW EFFECTIVE THIS SIMPLE TASK CARD APPROACH COULD BE TILL YOU ACTUALLY PUT IT INTO MOTION! MY STUDENTS HAVE TRULY GROWN IN WRITING STRONGER COMPLEX SENTENCES. – AWESOME!

A really nice exercise for children to create better sentences. It makes children turn on their imagination and think differently
Lyn’s ESL –
This is probably excellent for students who are deep into a unit on parts of sentences. It has been more challenging than expected for my advanced middle school ELs, even the ones who were born in the U.S., but that’s not the cards’ fault! I’m generally very happy with the cards and will probably use selected cards with my students in the future.

Great resource to use when learning parts of speech. The task cards are engaging and can be used out of sequence. Thank you again for another fun activity!
Carolyn J. –
I liked the different challenges these cards propose students with each new card. Really keeps them on their toes. Each card is different and therefore it can’t possibly not engage them! I’m thrilled to have bumped into these! Thank you!
