I Strategy 1: Practice Writing Longer Sentences
A key to fluent writing is using a variety of sentences. A paragraph with short
sentences one after another would soon be boring and sound choppy. lt is

important for students to practice writing sentences of different length and structure.
Students should practice adding various adverbial phrases, making compound
sentences with coordinating conjunctions, and making complex sentences using
subordinating conjunctions.

I Strategy 2= Practice Writing Details

visualize and understand the writing better when the ideas are
further described with details such as facts; examples, and
personal thoughts or feelings.

My Favorite Flyer
My favorite thing is my model airplane.

just made of Styrofoam, but it can

really fly. It has a propeller and a rubber band. If I turn
the propeller,

it winds up the rubber band. When I let

the rubber band go,

it makes the propeller spin. Then,

my model plane can really fly through the air. I play

with my model plane in the park. I don't want it to fly
too far away. I don't want to ever lose it. It's always fun

playing with my model plane.
