Set your own pace with Grammar on the Go!,
Open School BC’s latest companion workbook for grades
6 to 8 Language Arts students. Featuring a variety of concise
lessons and flexible activities, this resource is a great
way for students to master the fundamentals of language.
Grammar on the Go! simplifies the basics of grammar so students can learn to:
- identify parts of speech: nouns, verbs, adverbs and conjunctions
- compose proper sentences, using correct punctuation
- discover how to write a functional paragraph with confidence
- master the basics of spelling
In the section on identifying parts of speech students learn that some words have multiple functions and can be used in more than one way. Nouns, pronouns, adjectives, conjunctions, verbs and prepositions are explored in detail.
The use of correct punctuation is critical in making a sentence clear for others to read. This section examines and provides lessons on how to utilize commas, periods, colons, semicolons and hyphens properly.
Practise your paragraph writing skills and learn how to write
a proper topic sentence, supporting sentences and a closing sentence.
Learn how to appeal to a reader’s senses by writing a descriptive
or persuasive paragraph.
Spelling is no easy task, especially when some English words are
pronounced differently than they sound. This portion of Grammar
on the Go! spotlights useful techniques on how to recognize
the prefix, suffix, affix, silent letters and vowels of a word
so spelling becomes straightforward.
Created by BC teachers, the workbook is a stand-alone resource
with self-guided lessons and marking keys to use either at home
or in the classroom. Grammar on the Go! suits students
looking to improve and strengthen their existing languages skills,
particularly English as a second language students.
