Sentence Structure Activities Bundle | Simple, Compound, Complex Sentences

Are you a middle school language arts teacher looking for exciting and engaging ways to teach sentence structure? Look no further than the sentence structure activities bundle! With this bundle, you'll get an array of hands-on activities that will make teaching simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences fun and efficient.

From grammar sorts and presentations to task cards and worksheets, you'll always have the resources available whenever your students need a refresher or introduction to the various sentence structures.

This sentence structure activities bundle contains weeks of material. With these tools in hand, your class will have no troubles recognizing, using, and punctuating sentence structures.

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 :)
