Daily Language Review Grade 5 (Daily Language Review)Books: Travel: Botswana: Item 3
Will often have to spend a lot of time..., June 21, 2006 Reviewer:Kristen (MI) - I used this for part of the year last year and while the concept is good, I felt almost everyday I had to spend a lot of time explaining questions on the sheet that they had never seen before. The skills are random (which is the point) but you will definitely need to teach some of them that day, as oftentimes they have not learned certain skills yet. This would end up being a large part of your language arts program. The kids would get very frustrated doing these on some days from not knowing what some concepts were. Prepare to spend a lot of time teaching the skills everyday. Book Description This book is loaded, from cover to cover, with focused practice exercises that will keep your Grade 5 students' language skills sharp and expanding. As an added benefit, the items are presented in a variety of standardized testing formats, such as those used in the SAT-9, OLSAT, and TAAS tests. Weekly units presented follow this format: * Monday-Thursday (five items) -- two sentences to edit, including corrections in punctuation, capitalization, spelling, grammar, vocabulary, plus three items that practice a variety of language and reading skills. * Friday -- practice cycles through five formats - language usage, identifying and correcting mistakes, combining sentences, choosing reference materials, and figurative speech (similes, metaphors) All 112 pages are reproducible and perforated for easy removal. |
