Each week introduces a new grammar topic that aligns with common core standards. You’ll find a teacher packet that includes everything you need to teach, along with answer keys for easy grading. The student packet has five practice worksheets and a weekly quiz to check their understanding. To keep things fresh, we’ve included a range of activities to keep students engaged.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

How are the review weeks (every fifth week) meant to be used?

Each review week (Weeks 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30) cycles back over the four grammar concepts taught in the preceding weeks, giving the teacher a built-in checkpoint before moving on to new material.

How can a teacher tell which pages are meant for the teacher versus the student when printing the packet?

Teacher pages print with a blue border and in color, while student pages are plain, making the teacher and student pages easy to separate after printing.
