What are the benefits of unscrambling sentences?

According to the authors of The Writing Revolution, unscrambling sentences helps students:

1. understand the concept of a complete sentence
2. improve their knowledge of word order
3. successfully incorporate capitals and punctuation
4. If you incorporate content area material, it provides another opportunity to deepen their understanding of that topic, as well.

Using sentences aligned with your phonics program gives your students all the benefits above, plus fluency-building practice with decodable text!
