Where I post assorted thoughts and links relating to learning, specifically learning difficulties, learning disabilities, dyslexia, dysgraphia, "dyscalculia" and all the other reasons people struggle with numbers and math and arithmetic, reading, Orton-Gillingham stuff and ... whatever!

-- this one specifically targets the connecting words then, therefore, and pronouns such as "it" and "they." Students create sentences.

This one is lots harder - students have to sort the run-ons from the legal sentences (such as ones with comma and "but" or a semicolon). The teacher has lots of other worksheets online.

Another already-a-word-document worksheet with examples of spliced sentences is here.

This one I rather like 'cause of its nice layout - a little extra effort makes a big difference. (Okay, and it does what I like to do and takes examples from literature, even if Captain Underpants isn't usually where I go with it...)
