"This is the perfect resource for working on sentences! Students are able to come up with a sentence based on a pre-drawn picture which alleviated the stress of coming up with an idea on their own. They have been engaged in writing and I have seen their writing improve each day. They now say, "are we writing a five-star sentence?". I can not recommend this resource enough!"
