Sentence Makers

[Alant]

circa 1971/1972
primary school teaching aid. Consisted of a big (orange?) cardboard folder (about the size of a ring binder), that contained a load of words on small pieces of toughened paper. I'm sure there was a holder (a bit like the ones in Scrabble) that was used to build up sentences using the words.

We had those when I started primary school September 1976, when I was in what would now be called the reception year. The folder was indeed orange, with lots of words inside, it was made by Longman (book publisher) and titled "my sentence maker".

OMG! I can't believe other people remember these. I thought I was the only one. I was talking to someone today about them and then found this forum. I believe they helped me to read better and I can remember going to another school with my teachers to show them how it worked. Whatever happened to them.
