Are your high school students struggling to learn grammar? Teach them to analyze and write effective English sentences in 8 simple steps.

This resource is a new way to use the materials in Simple Steps to Sentence Sense for High School by Charlene Tess. All eight steps of Simple Steps to Sentence Sense for High School are now available in digital format in this workbook and are perfect for distance learning. This resource also includes a Bonus Step for Advanced Analysis to help AP students prepare for the language test.

Here's what teachers are saying:

"Quite literally my favorite purchase and the best investment I've made on Teachers Pay Teachers. My 8th-grade distance learning tutee feels completely confident in her progress and understanding of English grammar as we go through each step (we're currently on Step 5). Very grateful for such a wonderful resource."

Your students can access the notes, lesson practice, group practice exercises, individual practice exercises, tests, and writing connection pages in Google Drive. Note: This resource works best when viewed on a whiteboard, computer, or tablet instead of a phone.
