Grammar Practice

By Anonymous -
How many times have you been frustrated with your students not using "there", "their", and "they're" correctly?  Do your students have difficulty with subject/verb agreement?  Perhaps Road to Grammar Jr can help.



Road to Grammar Jr is a site that has grammar quizzes, practice and games.  

 Subject/Verb Agreement



 Their, there, and they're


Students can choose from over 300 grammar quizzes. This site is appropriate for all learners, but is geared towards grades 3rd - 8th.  It is also appropriate for ELL/ESL learners. The quizzes provide instant feedback.  If your answer is correct, there is a check mark, and if your answer is incorrect, there is an X.   I did not see a way to print the quizzes when you are finished, but students could make a screen capture of the page or raise their hand for a teacher to check their score.


I would use the quizzes on this site for individual practice or as a way to introduce or review a grammar skill before or after a lesson.  I like that the quizzes are short with only 10 questions.



Can I add that the quizzes called Spot the Mistakes are not easy!  I found them very challenging!



In case you are wondering, there is a Road to Grammar for older students and adults.  It can be found here.  This site has more adult content and is not for young learners.  I did find it to be engaging.

They wanted to make concrete poetry on their Chromebooks. There aren't many sites that allow the user to actually write words into any shape.  There is the Read, Write, Think interactive for Theme Poetry.  Here is what it looks like. The words can be added inside of a shape. The interactive guides students through the writing process There is a site from WildAboutWoods.org  where a person can choose a shape or draw one of their own and add words inside of the shape. There are word banks to choose from or a person can type in their own words to add to the shape. I like that adding words is as simple as click ...

My Blog Makeover - How I Did It

I love change and and rarely do the same thing over and over.  So a blog makeover was  inevitable .  It takes quite a bit to make a blog look completely different, but I have found ways to make it easier on myself. Here are the resources I used to complete my blog makeover.   I found the background at the Dotty Dot Dot blog.  I chose Summer Sunset and simply had to copy the code and insert it.  I found directions on how to do this here .  I could have use the header (the title at the top of a blog) from this site as well, but I decided it was too plain, so I searched for a different header. Shabby Blogs provided me with a header that fit my background perfectly.  I found directions to change my header here . I wanted to add my blog title to the header, so I used a photo editing site called Fotoflexer .  This was the first time I had used this site and I loved it!  I have since used Fotoflexer for some other projec...
