Fun fortune tellers for sentence building
Have you ever struggled to get children to even attempt more ambitious sentences, let alone enjoy doing so?
Do you find children glaze over when you mention vocabulary such as adjective or noun?
Sentence building is a crucial aspect of all writing and children need a great deal of support to develop competence in this skill.
This resource is a 20 page resource providing a set of 8 bright fortune tellers designed to help your children learn the key elements of sentences. They are even differentiated. Some people use dice, some use spinners but why not try something different - something children are familiar with using for fun?
The item is being sold in .pdf format.
Included
· 'Adjectives' fortune teller
· 'Nouns' (living things) fortune teller
· 'Verbs' fortune teller
· 'Adverbs' fortune teller
· 'Prepositions' fortune teller
· 'More Adjectives' fortune teller
· 'Nouns' (non living things) fortune teller
· 'Pronouns' fortune teller
Also included: instructions how to make the fortune tellers.
Differentiation
- Included in this item are 2 sets of fortune tellers. The 2nd set are predominantly the same as the 1st though with a slight variation to differentiate them for more anxious learners.
Set 1 - has the inner flaps labelled A to G so that the adjective or verb etc... to be included in the sentence is chosen entirely randomly.
Set 2 - has the actual adjective or verb etc... on the flap so that the child can see possible choices and can guide their sentence writing slightly more individually. This set would be better for those children who are less secure with their writing. It is also invaluable for those children who find a lack of choice within activities difficult to cope with and who need some level of control in their activities.
Fun
These fortune tellers are a great way to get children to expand their writing and incorporate new elements in to their sentences.
Because they are fun to use and brightly coloured, they will capture the attention of even the most reluctant writer and maintain their interest.
Interactive display
You can also purchase an additional interactive display resource to support your use of these sentence builders. This will help you create an enviable interactive wall display.
Resource size and format
All resources are created using an A4 sized format to maximise use of space within your classroom and to enable you to print them without the need for specialised printers.
