What's in? The book is divided into 36 weekly sections. There are five practice items for each day of the week. Monday through Thursday follow this format: two sentences to edit corrections need to be made in punctuation, capitalization, and grammar three items that practice a variety of language and reading skills Friday s practice cycles through three formats: identifying mistakes deciding if marked sections of a sentence contain punctuation, capitalization, or spelling errors or if there is an omission language usage practice choosing correct verb form, pronoun, homophone, etc., to use in a sentence correcting mistakes correcting errors in punctuation, capitalization, and spelling in lists and letters Scope and Sequence Scope and sequence charts on pages 3 and 4 detail the specific skills practiced and show in which weeks the practice occurs. The skills included are those found in language texts at this level. 2004 Evan-Moor Corp., Grade 6 EMC 576 1
How to Use There are several ways that the daily review practices can be presented. You may want to use all of these presentations throughout the year to help keep the practice fresh and interesting. 1 Make overhead transparencies of the lessons. Conduct the practice as an oral activity with the entire class. Write answers and make corrections using an erasable pen. Increased retention of the skill will occur if students mark the answers at the same time on a reproduced sheet or write the answers on writing paper. As the class becomes more familiar with, you may want students to mark their own answers first and then check responses by marking the items on the transparency. 2 Reproduce the pages for individuals or partners to work independently. Check answers as a group, using an overhead transparency to model the correct answers. 3 Use these pages as independent practice only after much oral group experience with the lessons. Occasionally you may want to use a day s, or even a week s, lesson as a test to see how individuals are progressing in their acquisition of skills. It should be stressed, however, that the greatest learning benefit will be gained from doing the practices orally so that students continually hear correct responses modeled by their classmates and the teacher. Hints, Suggestions, and Options 1. Look ahead several weeks at the skills being practiced. If possible, teach new skills in formal lessons before asking students to practice these skills in the daily review. 2. Sometimes you will not have taught a given skill before it appears in a lesson. These items should then be done together. Tell the class that there is a skill they have not yet been taught. See if anyone knows the answer and wishes to explain it to the class. If not, use the review time to conduct a minilesson on that skill. 3. Customize the daily review lessons to the needs of your class. If there are skills that are not included in the grade-level expectancies of the particular program you teach, you may choose to skip those items white them out or correct them before reproducing the page. If you feel your class needs more practice than is provided, add these extras on your own. For example: Use the daily edit sentences to locate subject, predicate, parts of speech, etc. Add a one-item warm-up, a mini-posttest, or ask students to provide another example. 2, Grade 6 EMC 576 2004 Evan-Moor Corp.
