Teaching Advanced Language Structures with an Enhanced Sentence Patterning Chart
San Rafael B
Christine Champie
Multilingual Education Program Manager
Educational Service District 105
Ask students what a sentence is and whether they use grammar and word structure knowledge to support reading comprehension. While these may seem like simple questions, most literacy programs fail to fully address the linguistic and literacy skills students need to read and write effectively. In this real-time demonstration of an enhanced Sentence Patterning Chart, you'll explore ways to build essential language skills—including grammar, syntax, vocabulary, fluency, nominalization, and morphology. These skills are emphasized in the Science of Reading and WIDA ELD Framework and are key to understanding and producing text. Learn how to extend the Sentence Patterning Chart to support more complex sentence construction and advanced language use.
