A sentence game with a serious purpose.
Fix It! isn't just a card game.
It's a teaching tool designed around the way kids actually learn sentence structure: explicitly, systematically, and with enough repetition to make it stick.
Students read a card and make one decision: is this a sentence, or is it a fragment? Simple concept. Powerful outcomes.
Sentence knowledge and reading demands are considered together.
Across the four packs, sentence structures develop in a deliberate progression, while phonics, word structure and language demands increase alongside them.
Start with the sentence. Build from there.
Fix It! is built around a deliberate sentence progression. Packs 1–4 build and expand the simple sentence, with each pack adding another layer of sentence knowledge.
