[quote=Anonymous]Read, read, and read more. It's the best way to learn good sentence structure. Dialogue (i.e. comics) doesn't help as much as narrative b/c it is usually very simple sentence structure. It's really hard to teach/explain. Exposure is the best way - if they read enough, they will just recognize what good structure (and vocabulary) looks and sounds like. I failed to enforce this strongly enough w/ my kids (now in HS) and they are paying the price. I write for a living and they really struggle.[/quote]
