Why get the bundle
- The bundle brings together task cards, sorts and an assessment, so children get used to checking what a sentence needs.
The problem
'The barn is red' versus 'The barn is red the cow is brown'
A sentence needs a who, a doing part and an ending. Children often stop too soon or never stop at all.
Stopping too soon
'Running down the hill' feels like a thought to a child, but it has no naming part.
Running on
Third graders string ideas together with no break: 'The soup is hot I ate it.' Spoken language has no periods.
Three kinds to sort
Telling a complete sentence from a fragment from a run-on takes three separate judgments.
Each example is sorted as a complete sentence, a fragment or a run-on, so children practice noticing when a thought is whole, broken, or too long.

US Letter 8.5 × 11 · PDFOutcomes
Tells complete sentences, fragments and run-ons apart
Reads a group of words and decides whether it is a sentence, a piece of one, or two joined together.
- one complete thought
- not a complete thought on its own
- two sentences with no end mark between them
Who it’s for
Built for the kitchen table and the classroom.
Parents & homeschool
Read the group of words aloud and ask, 'Does it tell a whole idea? Does it stop in the right place?'
Teachers
A 2nd-3rd grade editing center. Use the cut-and-paste sort and the assessment.
Revising practice
Kids can use the same questions to check their own writing.
Questions
Before you buy.
How is this different from sentence or fragment?
That topic sorts two kinds. This one adds run-ons, so children judge three.
What formats are available?
Task cards, cut-and-paste sorts, an assessment and a Google Slides deck.
How do I get the file?
The download link appears right after checkout and lands in your inbox at the same time. One PDF with 8 pages. No account needed.
Can I print it more than once?
Yes. One teacher or one household can print unlimited copies for their own students, this year and next.
Will it print in color?
The pages are designed to print in black and white, so they print clean on any home or school printer and do not eat a cartridge.
