Complementing the writing units in the Student Handbook, students receive additional instruction and practice through age-appropriate activities. Proofreading activities cover punctuation, capitalization, abbreviations, plurals, spelling, and proper word usage. Sentence combining, correcting sentence errors, and sentence variety are covered. Grammar and usage activities are also included. Although the Grade 4 and 5 SkillsBooks rely on the same Student Handbook, the activities vary with more advanced exercises in Grade 5.
