Visual Sentence Building Strips

Read each strip, then use it to build or check sentences. Remember to begin a sentence with a capital letter and finish it with a full stop.

Build simple sentences

Choose one subject strip and one verb strip. Put the subject first.

SUBJECT The rabbit Mason The bus A kookaburra

VERB hops paints stops laughs

1.Write three different complete sentences by pairing a subject strip with a verb strip. Use a capital letter and a full stop in each sentence.

Join ideas to make compound sentences

A compound sentence joins two complete ideas with a conjunction. Choose a simple-sentence strip, a joining word and another simple-sentence strip.

SENTENCE STRIPS A magpie calls. Luca packs his lunch. The clouds gather. We take our raincoats.

JOINING-WORD STRIPS and but

2.Use the sentence strips and either “and” or “but” to write two different compound sentences. Put a comma before the conjunction.

Make your own sentence strips

Draw a subject and an action, then write a matching word or phrase on each strip.
