What does this look like over the school year?
First, this entire set comes with 40 weeks of review sheets, answer keys, and a detailed pacing guide showing you just how to implement this alongside your literacy curriculum.
1st Quarter
The first four weeks focus on reviewing 1st-grade grammar skills, helping you gauge your students' levels and adjust your goals. This time also boosts students' confidence for tackling new skills.
In the first quarter students will review:
- Blends, Digraphs, and Verbs
- Commas
- Syllable Patterns
- Silent e Patterns
- Common and Proper Nouns
Each quarter ends with a mixed review to assess students' progress and skills learned.
2nd Quarter
In 2nd Quarter, your students are in a steady groove! It's the perfect time to focus on word parts, parts of speech, sentence structure, and punctuation. Here's what's introduced in Quarter 2:
- Root Words
- Verb Tenses
- Comparative Adjectives & Endings
- Antonyms & Synonyms
- Transition Words
- Fragments & Complete Sentences
Using precise words and varying sentence structures enhances meaning and improves sentence fluency, making their writing more dynamic and interesting!
3rd Quarter
Did you rest, relax, and spend time with loved ones over Winter Break? Great! Now it’s time to jump back into learning!
Just like anything else, grammar has rules, like regular verb tenses, but sometimes those rules get broken! In Quarter 3, students will learn about exceptions, including:
- silent letters
- irregular verbs
- diphthongs
- variant vowels
- lesson common vowel patterns
4th Quarter
Your students have made great progress and are ready to finish the year strong! In Quarter 4, they’ll explore how language adds meaning using adverbs, similes, metaphors, and prepositional phrases. They'll learn to recognize and use these in their own writing. Here are some skills covered in the 4th quarter:
- adverbs
- similes
- metaphors
- prepositional phrases
- figurative language
The last four weeks of Quarter 4 are dedicated entirely to reviewing all the 2nd-grade concepts introduced in the 2nd Grade Spiral ELA Review Bundle.
Some teachers may feel nervous about teaching grammar, but not you! By the end of 2nd grade, your students will master key grammar skills and be ready for third grade. Use these activities for 40 weeks of quick lessons.
