Introduction

Grammar fast facts with every activity. These reminders review the specific grammar
concept the children need for each activityright there on the reproducible. For example,
when students are working with helping verbs, theyll find a list of helping verbs right there
on the page. When they are working with proper nouns, theyll find a helpful reminder to
always use a capital letter. That means your students will not have to look elsewhere for
pertinent information.
Opportunities for both independent and collaborative lear ning. Some of the activities
such as crosswords and word searchesare designed for students to complete individually.
Otherssuch as the partner storiesare meant to be tackled in pairs or teams.
Special attention to typical pr oblem areas. As veteran teachers know, some grammar
rules are more troublesome than others. For example, many children have a hard time
forming contractions, forming the past tense of irregular verbs, and choosing the
homonym that makes sense in a sentence. This book addresses these tough topics clearly
and decisively.
2.
Use the reproducibles as part of a Grammar Learning Center where the focus changes
each week. For example, while you are teaching about nouns, you may want to copy all
of the activities that focus on nouns and store the activities in a designated spot in the
classroom. Send students to the Grammar Learning Center when they finish work early,
when you are working with small groups, or any other time individual students are looking for something to do. Invite students to make colorful posters of important grammar
rules and use them to decorate your Learning Center.
3.
Consider having students check their own work. (Use the answer key on page 58 to post
the answers on the board.) Then work with each student to highlight and focus on any
problem areas.
4.
After students have completed the puzzles for a given grammar topic, invite them to create their own puzzles for classmates to work on. Younger students will enjoy making
word search puzzles and simple crosswords on graph paper. Older students may want to
try crafting their own riddle bubble tests and partner stories. (In either case, take a peek
at the student-made activities before students exchange them. This will help avoid frustration in the event that a student-created puzzle is incorrect or incomplete.)
