Sentence Structure Activities

The Autumn activities focus on sentence structure, helping children recognise what makes a complete sentence and distinguish between sentences and groups of words that do not make sense as complete sentences. Short, practical activities provide regular practice to help secure strong sentence writing foundations.

Making Sense

This task helps pupils recognise what a real sentence looks like, an essential foundation for early writing. Each activity focuses on understanding that sentences need to make sense, contain a subject and a verb, and have words in the correct order.
