Are you looking for a sentence writing resource that aligns with a phonics program? This Simple Sentence Construction activity aligns with the scope and sequence of the UFLI Foundations Phonics Program.
These worksheets supports the skill of sentence construction whilst being aligned with the students phonics UFLI lessons. It challenges your students to construct a simple decodable sentence using a visual support and their knowledge of letters and sounds.
This resource provides teachers with an opportunity to reinforce those phonics skills, whilst also teaching vocabulary and syntax. Vocabulary provides the essential knowledge of what the word means, whilst syntax is the way we organize words into meaningful sentences.
Note: this is not a resource on how to teach sentence writing sentences although the prompts loosely follow The Writing Revolution. You may like to follow an explicit systematic sequential program that teaches, “subject, verb, object” or follows the “who, what, where, when, why” structure such as The Writing Revolution, Colourful Semantics, Shape Coding etc.
Each sheet contains a colored picture, writing prompts to help the student think about what they might include in their sentence and space for the student to write a sentence.
No prep required, just print and go. These activities align with many phonics programs as well as the UFLI Foundations Scope and Sequence Lessons 42 to 53.
NOTE: This product is not endorsed by UFLI Foundations nor is it affiliated in any way. No part of this product copies any material found in the manual or the toolbox.

Scope and Sequence:
This resource is aligned with the scope and sequence of the UFLI Foundations Phonics program Lessons 42 to 53 – FLSZ and Digraphs. It may also be used for other systematic synthetic phonics programs that focus on FLSZ and Digraphs. This means that the image has been carefully selected so that the student will be exposed to words with the target phonics sound, i.e. “cling” for lesson 51 digraph /ng/. It may also include sounds from prior lessons, i.e. /th/ “sloth”, /ch/ “branch”.
