Description:
SentenceSpin Interactive Language Arts Sentence Builder is the fun, touchable tool that helps elementary and middle school students become better readers, writers and communicators. With it, they can: • Understand and recognize the basic parts of sentences • Communicate their understanding by drawing pictures of the sentences they create • Share their drawings with teachers, classmates and friends It’s also great for teachers seeking formative assessments of writing – and for parents seeking great refrigerator masterpieces. Kids can use it in classrooms, home schools or tutoring sessions to build literacy skills, practice sentence construction and strengthen communication skills. While they’re having fun creating sentences and illustrating their words, SentenceSpin gets them to think about what a sentence means. It’s an ideal way to introduce concepts like comprehension, the basic rules of grammar and punctuation, and the power of words to communicate thoughts and ideas. Write Mode Students turn each of the three spinners until they create a sentence that’s interesting or unusual (or funny). The words they select form a full sentence at the top of the screen. Draw Mode When they switch to Draw mode, they see the sentence they’ve just created appears at the very top of the screen – above a big area where they can bring it to life, using a touchable 30-color palette. Sharing Pictures When students finish their pictures, they can save them – making it easy for teachers to create a record of the exercise, and for parents to see what their children are learning.
