Writing simple sentences can be difficult for young children, as the skill requires understanding the most basic grammar concept: noun-verb agreement. This book makes writing a simple sentence easy by gradually introducing the concepts of ‘noun,’ ‘verb,’ ‘plural,’ and ‘agreement.’ By slowly moving from singular nouns and verbs to plural nouns and verbs, children are finally able to create a simple sentence and build a foundation for creating more complex sentence patterns.
Ages 5-7.
