Definition
 

A sentence building grid is a teaching aid that allows learners to construct sentences by choosing parts of sentences and putting them together to form whole logical sentences.

Description
 

A sentence grid is a chart arranged in columns. Each column contains words that are a specific part of a sentence, such as

 
  • articles
  • subjects
  • objects, or
  • verbs
How to use
 

Follow these steps to use a sentence building grid:

 
  1. Have the learner choose any one word from each column so that, when the words are put together in order, they form a sentence that makes sense.
  2. Have the learner write the sentence or just read it.
  3. Have the learner make as many logical sentences as possible.
