Do you struggle explicitly and confidently incorporating SYNTAX in your therapy sessions? Syntax is a core area that needs to be addressed with our students struggling with language processing. This comprehensive resource enables you to systematically increase three main areas of syntax instruction:

• Active VS. Passive Voice
• Coordinating Conjunctions
• Sub-coordinating Conjunctions

This resource is for the SLP or special education teacher wanting a systematic, starting point for introducing elements of syntax in their sessions. Supported by research, this resource was created to fill a need I have in my therapy room and that need is SYNTAX INSTRUCTION. I wanted something more than a worksheet and something to systematically guide the student along to address overall language processing and comprehension. This is the perfect resource for elementary students or english language learners that need explicit instruction of sentence combining and sentence comprehension.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"First, I love the included evidence in this resource. It makes it easy to reference if needed. This has me so re-energized about teaching syntax/coordinating conjunctions. It does take some initial prep, but it doesn't take too long. The pages are designed beautifully and simplistically so it is great for learners who are easily overwhelmed with too much on the page."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"I love it! Makes teaching syntax simpler for me and makes it engaging for my students."
