A practical professional learning resource for primary teachers wanting to teach sentence structure, grammar, punctuation, and sentence writing in fun and effective ways.
This downloadable teacher resource has been developed to help Years 0–8 teachers build confidence when teaching sentence structure and grammar. It includes a clear breakdown of teacher knowledge, sentence combining strategies, and best-practice writing instruction methods supported by research.
Whether you are new to teaching grammar, unsure how to teach sentences explicitly, or simply looking for more engaging sentence structure activities, this resource is designed to make sentence teaching easier, clearer, and more effective.
You will receive:
A set of 16 short professional learning videos, in which I explain key sentence structure concepts and model effective classroom strategies;
Written summaries of each video, followed by sentence study activities for teachers;
A comprehensive teacher guide to sentence structure knowledge;
A tricky punctuation guide for teachers;
A practical guide to the sentence combining method.
In the past, teaching sentence structure and grammar has often relied on formal approaches and complicated terminology. However, research shows that heavily label-focused grammar instruction is often not the most effective way to improve writing outcomes for students.
Instead, grammar and sentence knowledge are best taught through meaningful reading, writing, discussion, and carefully designed sentence activities.
With this in mind, I present sentence structure knowledge in friendly, functional, and accessible ways, without oversimplifying the content. You will learn everything you need to know, including the meanings of those intimidating grammar terms, while also gaining practical teaching strategies you can use immediately in the classroom.
The teaching approaches I recommend have been demonstrated to improve writing quality, sentence control, revising skills, and student confidence. Most importantly, they help make teaching grammar and sentence writing more enjoyable for both teachers and students.
So join me, colleagues, to “make friends with sentences” and gain the confidence to teach sentence structure in engaging, research-informed, and effective ways.
