Why We Love It:

  • Strengthens understanding of sentence structure

  • Encourages critical thinking and sentence analysis

  • Promotes student engagement through discussion and collaboration

  • Easily adaptable for whole-class instruction, small groups, or independent work

  • Provides opportunities for vocabulary development and oral language practice

How It Works:

  1. Display an incomplete sentence with either the subject or verb missing.

  2. Read it aloud and ask, “Does this sentence make sense? What’s missing?”

  3. Guide students to identify if it’s missing a who (subject) or a do (verb).

  4. Brainstorm possible words to complete the sentence.

  5. Choose the best-fitting word and reread the sentence together.

  6. Repeat with new examples, gradually giving students more responsibility.
