From the publisher

"Sentence composing provides acrobatic training in sentence dexterity. It uses literature as a writing school with a faculty of professional writers who virtually teach students to build better sentences." - Don and Jenny Killgallon

Getting Started with Elementary School Sentence Composing introduces the powerful Sentence-Composing approach at a perfect time -- elementary school -- to give students a strong foundation in writing. Using real sentences by authors as models, the approach provides practice with four tools that skilled writers use to build strong sentences:

  • Openers to vary sentence beginnings
  • Splits to vary sentence middles
  • Closers to vary sentence endings
  • Mixes to add details in two or three places

Along the way, Don and Jenny Killgallon provide support for students, including:

  • Basic sentence training - activities to understand subjects, predicates, and their roles in sentence building
  • Broken sentences - exercises to identify, repair, and avoid fragments
  • Vocabulary scaffolds - "quickshots" to include an immediate, clear definition in context for challenging words
