Seventh grade students practice language skills covering punctuation, verb tense, conjunctions, word meaning, and more in ten to fifteen-minute daily lessons. This new edition has been completely updated to support Common Core methodology and skill practice, and includes:
- Practice of the Conventions of Standard English and Vocabulary Acquisition and Use for grade 7
- Using language in the context of writing and reading
- Increased practice of academic and idiomatic vocabulary
- Exposure to sentences from all Common Core writing types (informational, narrative, and opinion/argument)
How it works:
Daily Language Review follows the research-based model of frequent, focused practice to help students learn and retain skills.
On days 1 through 4, half-page activities provide four language exercises:
- two sentence-editing exercises
- two items that practice a variety of language and vocabulary skills
On day 5, a full-page activity provides more extensive practice of a vocabulary strategy or skill, and gives students the opportunity to practice using the words in their own sentences.
36 weeks of daily practice activities cover:
- Grammar and usage
- Capitalization, punctuation, and spelling
- Vocabulary word meaning and relationships
- Acquired vocabulary (e.g., using conjunctions to show relationships)
Features and benefits:
- Concise daily lessons are easy to scaffold and ideal for daily warm-up, quick informal assessments, and test prep
- The skills scope and sequence details the skills practiced each week
- A downloadable skill list and answer key provides an item-by-item list of the skills practiced each day to help teachers identify student competencies
- Each title includes downloadable homeschool connection activities to encourage parent involvement
- A progress chart and vocabulary log help students monitor their daily scores and keep track of new vocabulary
