Sentence Restructure

This worksheet supports students in Grades 5 and 6 as they strengthen writing fluency and syntactic control through a focused “Flip & Flow” sentence transformation task. Learners rewrite sentences by rearranging clauses, reordering phrases, and adjusting punctuation while preserving all essential meaning, helping them understand how sentence parts function together and how structure affects clarity and flow.
