Sentence Combining

Sentence combining is making one smoother, more detailed sentence out of two or more shorter sentences.  It is an important fourth grade skill to know how to do this.

Here is a simple example:

Sentence 1:  Kelly’s necklace sparkles.
Sentence 2:  It is beaded.

Combined sentence:  Kelly’s beaded necklace sparkles.
