Product Description
Write a Super Sentence offers a classroom-tested method for improving basic sentence writing skills. Through step-by-step guided lessons students brainstorm adjectives, nouns, verbs, and where and when phrases, and use them to expand a simple sentence. Each of the 15 lessons contains a teacher resource page and a reproducible form on which students write their "super sentences." Suggested sentence topics range from kites, pizzas, and spaceships to elephants, dinosaurs, and bees. Additional features include directions for a super sentence writing center. Stock the center with sentence wheels, pull-through sentences, sentences-in-a-bag, and 7 practice worksheets - all provided for you to reproduce. Directions for a "silly sentences" flip book, a super sentence bulletin board, and a super sentence certificate complete this resource book. Lots of humorous illustrations make the projects in this book attractive to young students. All 64 pages are reproducible and perforated for easy removal.

 Great Book!, 2008-02-13
This book is GREAT. It's really helped me have my second graders actually break down and look at their sentences in a simple way. It's wonderful.

Expanding simple sentences with ease and humor, 2007-09-08
I am a credentialed teacher who now tutors only. I bought this book primarily for ESL students who were learning to write in English. My three ESL students this past summer had very well-developed English vocabularies, but found it hard to put their ideas into English writing. Creating "Super Sentences" was a major help.
I also introduced the book to native English writers in grades 2-4. The book helped them see how they could easily vary their sentences by changing the position of some of the "formula" parts.
I then took the book one step further. After each lesson was finished, we cut and saved all of the suggested phrases in a personal reference book. I highly recommend the book to parents and teachers who are helping children grow beyond simple three word sentences.
Also, the book does flow well into the recommended partner, Fabulous Paragraphs.

 just look at the sample, 2007-04-17
This is a "formula" sentence book, and you can see the formula in the sample (there is only 1). At the back of the book, are center activities, which might make this the only reason you would purchase this book.

Worthwhile Purchase, 2005-06-12
I purchased this book to use with second graders (many of whom are in the process of learning English). I have found the activities to be useful in assisting students in assembling grammatically correct extended sentences. The kids also have a great time coming up with funny sentence parts. This is a good book to purchase if you're looking for a short daily exercise to assist students with sentence construction.
