The sentence maker is the core of "Breakthrough to Literacy." By using the word cards from the sentence maker, children can build up sentences in the green plastic stand - and read them back. The teachers' version is for group work, the pupil's version is for individual use. There is also a mini sentence maker to make the transfer from the teachers' to the pupil's sentence maker less daunting. Letters which have a "tail" on them such as m, n and d help pupils move to joined-up writing.
