Reading in chunks: Struggling readers read word by word. They don’t read groups of words. Efficient readers read groups of words and this is called reading in chunks. Poor readers try to recognize each word and in this process they don’t get the meaning of sentences. Children with difficulty in reading may be encouraged to read in chunks so that they can make sense of what they read. The use of Sentence Strips encourages children to read words together and make them efficient readers as well as efficient writers. Sentence Strips improves the fluency in reading and writing. From writing sentences, children can progress to writing paragraphs! Do you have students who can communicate but really only communicate when they want something?

Tell your child a sentence starts with a capital letter and it ends with punctuation. Children with learning difficulty have problems in using capital letters at the beginning of the sentence and often they don’t see punctuation. One remedial measure is to ask your child to raise the non-writing hand whenever a new sentence is written. This is a reminder to start the sentence with a capital letter. Other movements such as lifting a finger or touching the nose can be tried. Also make the child use punctuation in the sentence just completed before starting a new sentence. Reading aloud is a good remedy. The child is likely to continue reading without any regard for punctuation. Ask the child to take a pause at punctuations before continuing to read. Parents have to be extremely patient as not using capital letters and missing punctuations are not easy to remedy. Make funny sentences at the roll of the dice! They will also practice writing their sentences with correct spelling. Any activity involving reading or writing improves vocabulary and comprehension. Sentence Strips also improves the vocabulary of children and comprehension. In this activity, frequently used words are only included and children can master the usage of common words. In fact, this is a good game you can play with your children. All the members of the family can participate in this game. And it can be played in any language. Before attempting to answer the next question in this activity, ask the child to recall the sentence that had typed by joining the strips of the previous question. This kind of activity would improve your child’s short term memory. Short term memory or active memory is required for doing maths, following instructions, copying from the board etc. Recalling the sentences made by joining the strips is a good activity to improve the short term memory of your child.

How can colourful semantics develop expressive language skills?

The best way to learn is by teaching others. Your child can set questions to you. Encourage her/him to make Sentence Strips to test you. Occasionally, you can deliberately make mistakes so that your child can point out the mistakes you have made. Nothing gives more pleasure to the child than correcting you!

In both sentences there is an independent clause, “you’ll miss the bus” and “I would cook lasagne tonight”. Each of these clauses is then qualified with a condition. If I knew how to cook lasagne, it would be cooked tonight. If you got up now, you might catch the bus. Although these examples are in the future tense, expressing hypothetical outcomes, conditional clauses can also be used in the past tense: Go for a walk with sentence starters on a ring.
