Smashing Sentences

Clear, accurate sentences are essential for written communication. The course considers the essential ingredients required for sentence writing and applies this to explore some of the common challenges children encounter such as subject/ verb agreement, comma splicing and run-on sentences. Aligned to the DfE's Writing Framework, this course is essential for teachers looking to smash sentence teaching.

Course aims:

• Explore the grammatical elements required for good sentence writing
• Demonstrate practical approaches to teach sentence writing
• Provide course delegates with ‘take away’ ideas to embed in their teaching.

Handouts and resources are provided electronically and colleagues are encouraged to bring their laptop or electronic device to annotate their handouts as the session is delivered.
