Worksheet Set. This set was specifically designed for 3rd grade students.

This is a 13-page PDF with one directions page and 12 activity pages. There are 6 pages that have 3 sentences each. On the other 6 pages, there is space to write a sentence and illustrate a picture.

How to Use the What's Wrong with the Sentence? Grammar Worksheet Set:

This Grammar Worksheet Set can be utilized in a variety of ways. It makes a great morning work activity. This worksheet set can also be placed in students’ early finishers folders. Students can pull out these worksheets whenever they have finished an assigned task. You may also choose to send this home for homework.

You can print off one page or all of the pages and staple them together to make a mini booklet. Every 2 pages go together. Students will state or circle the errors in each sentence.
