About this resource

If you need support with writing during reading to build writing skills, I have just the resource for you.

What You Get:

This is a set of Sentence Starter Cards to use with your upper primary students that are learning or reviewing sentence writing. You will receive a 4-page printable with cards. There are 8 cards printed 2 per page.

How to Use This Resource:

You will need to print off the sheets of cards. You can print these on heavy duty paper or card stock. Laminate them after printing. This will allow for greater durability. These cards can be easily stored in a plastic baggie. This is a great game to implement when your students have gathered a basic understanding of sentence writing. Whether students are engaged in independent writing tasks or are writing together in a small group, these sentence starter cards will provide them with the guidance they need to craft strong sentences.

I hope you enjoy!
