Columbus Day Sentence Building, Adapted Books

(0)
This resource contains a sentence building / adapted book linked to the theme of Columbus Day. Students have to build a sentence with 4 words for what they see. For example - I see an island, I see a ship etc. This is one of the basic stages of sentence building so it is basic grammar i.e there is no . at end of each sentence yet. This download does require some prep before using the activity. I recommend laminating the pages with empty boxes and pictures on then binding into a book. Cut out the symbol boxes individually and laminate. You can either have these spread out on a board/table for students to choose from or stick them muddled up on the back of the page in front for students to choose from. Brilliant for building sentences with children who need symbols for prompts. Also great for non-verbal students.
