I purchased this book to use with second graders (many of whom are in the process of learning English). I have found the activities to be useful in assisting students in assembling grammatically correct extended sentences. The kids also have a great time coming up with funny sentence parts. This is a good book to purchase if you're looking for a short daily exercise to assist students with sentence construction.

I am a credentialed teacher who now tutors only. I bought this book primarily for ESL students who were learning to write in English. My three ESL students this past summer had very well-developed English vocabularies, but found it hard to put their ideas into English writing. Creating "Super Sentences" was a major help.

I also introduced the book to native English writers in grades 2-4. The book helped them see how they could easily vary their sentences by changing the position of some of the "formula" parts.

I then took the book one step further. After each lesson was finished, we cut and saved all of the suggested phrases in a personal reference book. I highly recommend the book to parents and teachers who are helping children grow beyond simple three word sentences.

Also, the book does flow well into the recommended partner, Fabulous Paragraphs.

This book is GREAT. It's really helped me have my second graders actually break down and look at their sentences in a simple way. It's wonderful.

The book arrived in a timely manner and in very good condition. We are very happy and would order from this vendor again.

This is a "formula" sentence book, and you can see the formula in the sample (there is only 1). At the back of the book, are center activities, which might make this the only reason you would purchase this book.

This is the best writing tool I used last year. My kids became great writers using this product. Follow the steps and help them become descriptive writers with great sentence structure.
