Spelling Sentences - Think: OCEAN!

Miss Clark

* Some sentences are short and some sentences are long. Sentences flow together and when you read aloud, there is a smoothness to the sound of your voice. You are not tripping over awkward words or phrases. Think of sentence fluency as a flowing river. Some places on the river are smooth as glass. Other places along the river ripple and roll. And still, other places along the river rush and foam. There are many twist, turns and waterfalls along a river's path, and of course, every river's destination is the ocean. There are lots of twist and turns along a story path, and of course, every story's destination is a satisfying conclusion. Sentences are like the river - they take you to the ocean.
