Build a Sentence Speaking and Writing Activities

Description

Build a Sentence is a resource that builds speaking, vocabulary, and writing skills. A focus image is used to generate vocabulary which in turn is used to build, or create, sentences of varying lengths.

Perfect for the ESL classroom, 65 focus images, along with 4 levels of differentiated student response pages for each image, allow you to easily customize instruction for your English language learners.

Four blank student response pages are also included for customizing and inserting your own images.

These speaking and writing activities are perfect for small group instruction with beginning and intermediate English language learners. Once students build their English proficiency, this would also make an engaging and effective independent literacy center.

My ESL students love this activity! They are challenged with building a 3-word sentence, 4-word sentence, 5-word sentence, and so on. The supports provided within this resource allow ALL students to find success in building their English language skills. That’s why this resource quickly became part of my instructional routine.

Detailed instructions on how to use this resource are included. Check out the preview for a closer look!

Materials are provided as PDFs and are designed for printing or teacher-led projection.

This resource would also be highly effective for students in primary grades learning to write.

Focus images reflect diverse people, families, and everyday experiences.

Love using this resource with students in all grades. The pictures are realistic and engaging and cover many topics. The activities support speaking and writing well.

This has become part of my weekly routine. It can be used whole class or as independent work and is a great way for students to improve their vocabulary and sentence structure.

This is a go-to resource in my room for writing. Students are engaged, growing as writers and enjoying their work.
