Make My Sentence Say More: Sentence Expansion Practice
For the writer who stops at "The dog ran." Short sentences grow into clear, detailed ones they are proud of.
How it works
Short sentences grow into clear, detailed ones without a blank page in sight.
Say it first
Learners talk through the bigger sentence before writing a word, so the writing part feels possible.
Choose, then write
Every item offers a few choices plus room for their own idea. No one stares at an empty line.
Put it together
Skills come together into one strong sentence the learner built and wrote themselves.
What's inside
Using it
Go at your learner's pace, one step or one page at a time. Read the grown-up guide once and you're ready, no teaching background needed.
Run it as an intervention, a small group or independent practice. It prints clean on the school copier.
Questions
What grades is this for?
Grades 1 to 3, and older learners who still write short sentences. Pages are built so a learner can work at their own level.
Does my learner need to be a strong speller?
No. Choice words are printed on the page to copy, and the grown-up guide shows how to keep spelling from getting in the way.
Will this work at home and in a classroom?
Yes. Pages work one on one at the kitchen table, in small groups, or as independent practice once the skill is familiar.
Is there an answer key?
Yes. Model answers for every page, with notes on what else to accept, since most items have more than one right answer.
How do I get my files?
Right after checkout you'll see download buttons, and we email you a link too. Everything is saved in My Library to re-download anytime.
Will it print in black and white?
Yes. Every page is designed to print clean in black and white on a home printer or a school copier.
Can I use it with a whole class?
Yes. One purchase covers one classroom or one family. Buying for several teachers or a whole school? See school licenses.
What if I have a problem or a question?
Because these are instant digital downloads, all sales are final. If something isn't working the way you hoped, or you have any question at all, email hello@wiggle-wise.com and we'll help.
