How to Use
Connected Sentence Cards – Instructions
Packs of connected sentence cards have eight sentence block sentences on them – with one
word on each card. The aim of the cards is for students to learn about:
a) sentence building: how to make a sentence; the order in which we put the words
b) sentence stress: which words are content words and which are function words
c) connected speech: how we join together the words in a sentence; how we connect
the sound at the end of one word with the sound at the beginning of the next word
There are lots of ways in which you could use these cards, some of which are suggested
here. There is also a detailed lesson plan on p.3.3 which outlines how to use the cards to
teach the techniques of connected speech. From p.3.6 there is a detailed demonstration of
how you could use the cards to teach connected speech by focusing on the vowel and
consonant sounds that occur between words in a sentence.
First of all, print the cards (on thin card, if possible). If you are able to laminate them, that
would be ideal, because you will be able to use the same set of cards again and again!
Ideas for using the connected sentence cards:

Ask students to work in pairs or groups to put together the cards to make the
sentence. You could give one sentence (of the eight sentence block starting
sentences) to each pair or group in the class; when they have finished their task, tell
them to go and help put together the other sentences
