(R507): Think Then Write Workbook 1: Simple Sentences
$65.00 including GST
Many writing programs start at the discourse (or text type) level, with tasks like recounts, procedures, and stories. For many students, however, this is too advanced and sets them up for failure. Texts are made up of paragraphs, and paragraphs are made up of sentences. Let’s start with sentences and work our way up!
In this 340+ page workbook, you will learn how to write simple sentences, using a range of high-frequency sentence structures. Introductory writing exercises include subject-verb (SV), subject-verb-object (SVO), subject-verb-complement (SVC), subject-verb-adverb (SVA), and subject-verb-object-adverbial (SVOA) phrase sentences.

This workbook is designed for beginning writers. It’s also suitable for students learning English as an additional language; students with language and learning challenges; students who are being home-schooled; students who haven’t yet learned to write a simple sentence for any reason; and reluctant writers.
The workbook is low pressure, and completely self-paced.
If you’d prefer to learn with scripted modules and writing scaffolds, audio and video demonstrations, a sequenced writing workbook, lots of guided practice opportunities using easy to spell words, and an explicit “I do, we do, you do” course structure, check out our Start Your Engines Self-Paced Video Course.
