PRODUCT SUMMARY
The Wordswork staff is on a quest to fill their magazine with those groups of words we all know and love: sentences. Their job sounds simple enough, but little do they know that a sentence isn't just any old group of words. To be considered a sentence, those words must convey a complete thought and contain both a subject and a predicate. In Sentences, the team learns that there are four distinct kinds of sentences: statements, questions, commands and exclamations. Filled with clear explanations, helpful examples and simple tests to distinguish a complete sentence from an incomplete sentence, Sentences wraps up with a fun word game that lets the kids put their sentence knowledge to use! Part of the multivolume Grammar for Children Video Series. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online.
