Sentence Patterns

One of the qualities of a good writer is the ability to engage readers with interesting and fluent text. One technique writers use to achieve this goal is to vary sentence patterns. Instead of using the same pattern continuously, a writer will change the pattern by combining short sentences into one long one or moving a phrase to the beginning or end. The worksheets below aim to help your young writer improve their ability to vary sentence structure. They are free to use both at home and in the classroom.
