First Grade Grammar Workbook {My Grammar Reference and Practice Book}

  This is a first grade-friendly grammar workbook that A) provides students with practice and B) serves as a little reference book that students can refer back to!  My Grammar Reference & Practice Book includes 35 pages of no-prep, "do together" activities. Students are not expected to read the instructions on their own. To see what the pages are like, look closely at the thumbnail images and the preview file. To make the booklets, simply print and staple the pages together! This booklet does NOT include any lesson plans or other activities. It is not a grammar/language arts program in itself, and it must be accompanied with explicit instruction, practice in the context of reading and writing, and hands-on activities. In fact, this booklet was designed to go along with my First Grade Grammar Alive program, which provides all of that. However, it can also be used with any writing or grammar program of your choice. Below is a list of the skills that are covered in the workbook (1 page per week). These pages can easily be rearranged to match your own program/curriculum!
