Make Sentences With The Sentence Maker: Book 1 (4-7 years)
, Not Grade Specific,
Book One introduces sentence construction through a fold-and-assemble maker rather than a conventional response sheet. Learners first read short models such as It is a cat and Tell me, if it is a pup? They then select from repeated function words, picture nouns, and punctuation marks to build additional sentences. Cut and fold lines show where the maker is assembled, keeping the word choices aligned during practice.

Opinion Writing Anchor Chart – O.R.E.O. Method
, Not Grade Specific,
Opinion Writing Anchor Chart presents the O.R.E.O. structure as four ordered moves. Writers state an opinion, provide reasons, explain those reasons, and close by stating the opinion again. The second chart removes the key words from the same sequence, allowing learners to reconstruct the framework rather than only reread the completed reference. The identical order on both pages keeps the mnemonic stable while changing the task from reference use to recall.
