This pamphlet from Christian Light Education is a great reference for students who are diagramming sentences (and teachers who need a refresher). It instructs in 1-2 sentences and gives an example on how to diagram every type of sentence you can imagine. It starts with sentences that have a simple subject and a simple verb, then progresses throughout the booklet to more complex diagrams, like compound sentences with an adjective clause. The booklet is organized into diagramming of subjects and verbs, modifiers, complements, prepositional phrases, verbals and verbal phrases, clauses, and other elements. 4-5 sentences are diagrammed on each page. A simple but useful resource. 20 pgs, pb. ~ Rachel
Learning how to diagram sentences can really help students visualize how the different parts of speech work together to form sentences. However, this skill isn't always included in English books. This workbook provides a wonderful supplement to any curriculum. It covers sentence diagramming from easy to challenging, one step at a time. After reading simple explanations and seeing examples, students practice with similar sentences. The worksheets start with just subjects and predicates and then progress to adjectives, adverbs, direct and indirect objects, appositives, interjections, prepositional phrases, participles, and gerunds. Reviews are scattered throughout, which can be used as quizzes or test if desired. The worksheets are perforated and reproducible. Answers included, 46 pages. - Melissa
I needed a basic diagramming resource as I begin to teach simple diagramming to a lower elementary student.
Super helpful and succinct. Very easy to look up what we need.
Teaching it.
I wanted a reference so that I could teach more confidently.
