Description

The Easter Sentence Builder is an interactive and engaging literacy resource designed to help students construct meaningful sentences while exploring Easter-themed vocabulary. Using colour-coded word cards, students piece together subjects, verbs, objects, and prepositions to build grammatically correct and descriptive sentences. The resource also includes sentence-building challenges, story extension tasks, and creative writing prompts to deepen language comprehension and encourage creativity.

•    Literacy Centres: Use as a hands-on sentence-building activity for small-group learning.

•    Grammar Practice: Reinforce parts of speech and sentence construction in an interactive way.
