Overview - BASIC GRAMMAR SERIES BINDER 2
Basic Grammar Series, by author Kristine Lindsay, incorporates essential grammar skills in three leveled binders, each including more than 200 activities. The program offers a variety of activities in order to help students fully master each skill. Worksheets have been designed to address the major learning modalities (visual, auditory, and tactile/kinesthetic). Each of the three binders is leveled, beginning with the most basic grammar skills in Binder 1 and gradually increasing the difficulty level in Binders 2 and 3. The reading level also increases from 1.0 to 3.0.
Features
All three binders are organized in the same manner, making the program easy to use. Each binder contains a correlations chart featuring skill objectives so that teachers can easily reference specific skills pertinent to their students’ needs. Each binder contains 8-13 units. The beginning of each unit includes a teacher page complete with instructions for motivating the students, as well as suggested activities to use in class and to take home. Also included is a parent letter that explains the unit students will be studying and offers suggested home activities that will reinforce the skill.
