Note to Teachers: I created this product out of frustration with students not mastering the same language arts skills year after year. After teaching second grade for 16 years and moving to fourth grade, I noticed that students struggled to retain skills taught in previous years and even skills taught earlier in the semester. Most reading/language arts series introduce a new grammar/language skills every 2 weeks with little or no spiral review until the next school year. After creating and using this product in my classroom, I had my first “Ah Hah!” moment when 2 of my students said…. “Subjects and Predicts are easy!”. Learning a new skill and successfully transferring that knowledge to long term memory requires a great deal of repetition. This product provides many opportunities for review. I used this product daily in my classroom as morning work. I projected the page on the dry erase board and went over the answers with my class – Monday – Thursday. We used the adopted language skill pages from our reading series as well. This took about 30 minutes of our language arts block. The rest of our language arts block was devoted to 6 Traits mini-lessons and writing time. I have included many opportunities for students to improve their vocabulary by looking up words in the dictionary or thesaurus. I wrote a grant for electronic dictionaries, so my students would want to look up all the new words they encounter in text and/or to improve their word choice by using the thesaurus button on the same device.
