This episode builds on the work of Dr. Margie Gillis from Literacy How. In it, I will dive into how we can help our students understand the parts that make complex sentences.
- Adverbs: We will begin to understand what makes a word an adverb, what types or categories adverbs fall into, and how understanding these help you to understand the actions of the story.
- Prepositions: We discuss how these link and describe the relationship between two words.
- Conjunctions: These are discussed briefly in how they are a part of creating complex and compound sentences as well as dependent clauses.
- Pronouns: We discuss how we can understand what nouns the pronouns refer to.
I share distinct teaching strategies to use with your students.
- They are analyzing sentences to get to the meaning of what the words represent.
- Using cueing questions to understand what is happening in the sentence or passage.
- Summarizing a text using cueing questions.
