Smooth Fixers
This worksheet provides run-on sentences that students need to revise for smoother readability. They practice creating coherent, well-punctuated sentences from overly long statements, often needing to add conjunctions or punctuation marks. Each sentence requires students to understand the best way to clarify meaning by adjusting structure. Through consistent practice, students develop confidence in correcting sentences independently.
Exercises that involve restructuring run-on sentences build students’ sentence fluency and grammar correction skills. Revising sentences teaches them to consider multiple ways to express a single idea, which is useful for building sentence variety. This also improves their comprehension of when and how to use commas, periods, and conjunctions. As a result, students are better prepared to write clearly and thoughtfully.
