Sentence Structure Activities Bundle | Simple, Compound, Complex Sentences

Sentence structure is an important part of connecting grammar to writing. Students must properly punctuate types of sentences as well as use simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences with purpose. This sentence structure bundle provides a variety of tools and materials for every teacher.

Purposes for making this sentence structure bundle:

√ Students often struggle to identify types of sentences or basic sentence structures, but standards ask students to use simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences.

√ Many questions on standardized tests focus on punctuating different types of sentences.

√ Finally, students need to apply the basic principles of types of sentences to their writing.

These sentence structure activities bundle has additional downloads as free bonus material! The individual pieces in my store are linked below.

Feedback from other teachers about this sentence structure unit. . .

Great activities for reviewing sentence structure. My students appreciated the hands-on practice rather than another boring worksheet.

This is a fabulous resource to use before any writing unit! My students were better prepared to write complete sentences and paragraphs! Thank you!

Amazing! My students were struggling with this and this helped them stay focused as we reviewed.

I use this every time in my sentence structure unit. Great practice and the kids do well with it :)
