This Sentence Builder Book, "What Are the Pilgrims Doing?" focuses on identifying action words, building sentences, and sentence comprehension.

In a small group, the teacher or therapist reads the story as students follow along and match the correct action to each page. 

Sample Text:

"What is Jasper doing? What can it be?
He's.... __________ (reading a book) 
as we can plainly see"

After the students have worked through the book, students can practice building sentences with the sentence builder strips. Students will put three pictures together to form a complete sentence. (See photos for details)

There is also a sentence comprehension activity included. Students read the sentence (or a teacher reads it to them) and choose the picture that best illustrates the sentence.

Students working independently can complete any or all of the activities at a literacy center.
