The combination of the Reading Rods Sentence-Construction and Vocabulary kits helps students build more powerful sentences with precise meaning as they reinforce, practice, and master key literacy skills. Students will integrate academic and precise vocabulary into their writing for clearer, more colorful writing. Students will explore Tier 2 and Tier 3 words in building, editing, and revising sentences of increasing complexity. The color-coding of the rods provides quick visual cues for recognizing parts of speech, affixes, and punctuation, and applying this understanding to composing and improving sentences. Use the individual kits with one student or a collaborative pair of students.
