**NEW** SENTENCE COMBINING AND EXPANDING
Sentence combining teaches students how to write clearer, more complex sentences. Students take two or more short, simple sentences and join them into one strong sentence without repeating information or changing the meaning. This helps them learn how to use conjunctions and different sentence structures correctly. The goal is for students to use these skills in their own writing. Sentence combining works best when teachers teach it directly and practice it regularly during writing instruction.
