You’ve taught vocabulary. You’ve worked on ideas. You’ve even tackled spelling and punctuation. But your students are still writing sentences that are flat, unclear, or full of errors.
That’s because there’s a missing piece in writing instruction that often gets overlooked: syntax.
Why Syntax Matters
Syntax is the foundation of strong writing and fluent reading. When students understand how sentences work, they can:
✅ Write with clarity and confidence
✅ Express complex ideas effectively
✅ Read with better comprehension
