Five worksheets that take turns through the activities. Pages 1 and 4: students combine two sentences into one. Pages 2 and 5: students add the words given to make a sentence longer. Page 3: students say a sentence in fewer words by leaving out what is said twice. Every answer is worked out from the sentences themselves, and the answer keys mark each one.
Take one plain sentence and pass it around the room, each student adding one detail. Then cut it back to its best version.
Ask your child to tell about their day in three short sentences, then combine them into one.
Sentences made longer with describing words and phrases, joined when they share a subject or an action, and made shorter by leaving out what is said twice. Students combine, expand, and shorten sentences.
