Builders are self-paced
learning centers designed to build fluency with high-frequency sight
words and introduce sentence structure rules. Students use word cards to
build sentences and then record their work, thus involving decoding,
writing, spelling and context.
Sentence Builder cards are organized into 6 levels, each level having
ten containers. Each container contains word cards that can be put
together to form a sentence. |
