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

subordinatin g conjunctions.
