How can I make my sentences better in Year 2?

You can make Year 2 sentences better by checking they make sense, starting with a capital letter, and adding helpful details like where something happens or what something looks like.

What does it mean to add detail to a sentence?

Adding detail means putting in extra words that give more information, such as an adjective or a place, so the reader can picture the sentence clearly.

Why do some sentences sound wrong when you read them aloud?

Some sentences sound wrong because a word is missing, the words are in the wrong order, or the sentence does not match what you want to say. Reading aloud helps you spot mistakes.
