yellowperch Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Is there a resource you'd recommend for this for grade 4? I'm looking for daily practice to add to a daily independent work folder. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Wife Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Does it have to be individual sentences? I really like the Evan-Moor Daily Paragraph Editing books. Doing one last year helped my DD improve her mechanics standardized test scores quite a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Pip Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 We use Daily Paragraph Editing by Evan-Moor. There are 4 days of paragraphs to edit each week, and then a writing prompt based upon the week's theme on Friday. I have both kids doing 4th grade. I think the practice is challenging enough for my older child, too (6th grade). They needed my help, at first. Now, they edit as much as they can, and then we go over it together. It's not 100% independent, because we do discuss the answers or the mistakes that were missed. Also, some of the answers are open to interpretation. For example, one sentence yesterday read something like: "Rats I was hoping it would arrive today". One child used a comma between Rats and I, while the other child used an exclamation point. I believe both are correct. The TM said the comma was correct, but after discussion, we all decided we liked the exclamation point better. I wish I had purchased the e-book, because scanning the pages from the book and then printing for my kids is becoming a headache. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
