Chapter 2
Sentences: Learning the Fundamentals
This chapter discusses how sentences are the building blocks of all good writing. TWR’s sentence-level strategies equip students with the foundational skills needed to write paragraphs and essays. By correcting fragments, scrambled sentences, and run-ons, students can grasp the concept of a complete sentence. When these strategies are embedded in the content students are learning, they not only refine sentence-level skills but also enhance comprehension and understanding of the material.
