FairProspects Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 What would be a quick and easy way to nail down mechanics, conventions, etc. over the summer for a rising 5th grader? Would prefer a workbook with visuals and/or pictures. I'm thinking something that goes over when to use a comma, semi-colon, colon, etc. Suggestions?

I used this when I was a classroom teacher and it was always really popular with the kids. I think it'd be ideal for summer use. We're using ultimate grammar (easy grammar series) for quick daily 10 min independent review of writing mechanics, though it's aimed at high school. You might also look at the Writing Skills series by Diana King. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
