As a follow up to my last post on sentence combining; I wanted to give you some quick resources with syntax worksheets for speech therapy.
There are MANY ways you can come up with creative simple sentences to combine to compound sentences.
You can write sentences about different media, like images, videos, and stories. You can have kids come up with sentences, or you can write sentences about past events or experiences.
