Build-a-Sentence Cubes Set of 54

Grades: 1-3

This innovative language tool lets you build sentences with high frequency words, then change or rearrange the elements in those sentences. Each color-coded 9-cube set has a grammar focus and includes punctuation marks. Build simple, one-verb sentences or experiment with more complex two-verb combinations. Conjugate verbs like gustar and ir in up to four tenses, and build sentences with other irregular verbs (ser, estar, dar, tener, querer, poder, saber, and haber). Experiment with singular and plural forms of the verbs, and make nouns agree with a wide range of adjectives, including color, size, possessives, and more. Ask yes/no questions and practice other interrogative words. Reply in affirmative or negative statements, and practice positioning of single or double (in)direct object pronouns. 54 precision-made 1¼ in., plastic cubes in all, plus teaching notes. Especially useful for identifying children with syntax problems or working with ELL students.
