Hello! Welcome to the tutorial for FLAX & Language Exercise Creation --
Scrambled Sentences.
The ability to group words into meaningful chunks
is crucial to fluent reading.
Scramble sentences is an excellent exercise
for enhancing these abilities.
With practice,
students become more adept at grouping words into phrases and sentences.
As students put the sentences together,
their awareness of sentence structure,
as well as phrase structure, improves.
They soon learn to identify subjects and predicates,
organize words into phrases,
link adjectives and adverbs to the words they modify,
and use conjunctions to provide cohesive ties.
