Syllabus bites: types of sentences

Educational value

• This is a valuable resource about the teaching of sentence types. It supports the explicit teaching of main types of sentences in context of an integrated language and literacy program. Teachers will find the activities, quizzes and reading links particularly useful. The information is closely linked to the language and literacy strands of the Australian Curriculum English K - 10.
