Writing with good sentence fluency uses different kinds of sentences to give the writing rhythm and help it flow.

(C) FreeWritingWorksheets.com 2016 Sentence Fluency Writing with good sentence fluency uses a variety of sentence lengths and styles in order to create rhythm and flow. (C) FreeWritingWorksheets.com 2016

1 = Choppy and repetitive (the same thing over and over again) Every sentence sounds kind of the same. Every sentence is the same length. I don’t have many—or any–compound or complex sentences. The writing sounds boring when you read it out loud. (C) FreeWritingWorksheets.com 2016

(C) FreeWritingWorksheets.com 2016 Score of 1 I went to the mall. There is a food court at the mall. I ate pizza there. The pizza was pepperoni and sausage. The pizza was delicious. I couldn’t stop eating. I stuffed my face. I feel sick today. It was worth it. (C) FreeWritingWorksheets.com 2016

3 = some variety, starting to flow There are some compound and complex sentences. I am beginning to use different kinds of sentences to speed up or slow down my reader. My writing sounds fine when you read it out loud. (C) FreeWritingWorksheets.com 2016

(C) FreeWritingWorksheets.com 2016 Score of 3 Last weekend, I went to the mall and ate pepperoni and sausage pizza at the food court. The pizza was so delicious that I couldn’t stop eating. I stuffed my face. I feel sick today, but it was worth it. (C) FreeWritingWorksheets.com 2016

5 = Lots of variety, and the sentence structure supports the ideas I have simple sentences, compound sentences, complex sentences, and compound-complex sentences. I use long sentences to explain complicated ideas and slow the reader down. I use short sentences to emphasize important points and speed the reader up. My writing sounds great when your read it out loud. (C) FreeWritingWorksheets.com 2016

(C) FreeWritingWorksheets.com 2016 Score of 5 Last weekend, I went to the mall and stuffed my face with pepperoni and sausage pizza at the food court. It was so delicious that I couldn’t stop. I just kept eating and eating and eating, gulping down piece after cheesy, heavenly piece until my belt strained and my eyes bulged and my stomach swelled to the size of soccer ball. Even when I felt the rumbles of nausea rise up in my belly, and I knew for sure I was going to throw it all up, I thought to myself: This was totally worth it. (C) FreeWritingWorksheets.com 2016
