How Do You Teach the Four Types of Sentences?
Teaching young learners to write well is like building a house. The foundation is the most important part. Sentences are the foundation of writing, and students need to know and understand the four kinds of sentences to be successful.
These posters will help your students identify, understand, and retain the knowledge of the types of sentences they need to use when composing a new piece.
This poster package elaborates on simple, compound, complex, statement, question, exclamation, and command sentences. We’ve included four additional posters that use the upper-level terms for these types of sentences: declarative, exclamatory, interrogative, and imperative.
These posters can also be used as:
- Classroom decor
