The sentences that come from this forced structure can sometimes be funny, poetic, or just downright weird. Some of my sources for these holoalphabetic sentences:
What else can you do with pangrams?
- With younger students, identify each letter in the sentence, look for vowels, consonants, blends, etc.. Count how many times letters appear (a perfect pangram will only have 26 characters, each letter appearing only once).
- As a small writing activity, challenge students to write their own pangram. Increase the challenge and specify a theme, writing style, or limit the number of words or character.
- In the real world, pangrams are often used to demonstrate a font, typeface, or handwriting. Invite your students to develop a pangram that speaks to the feeling of a chosen font.
