General Overview

Purpose:

This language practice provides daily review of essential skills. It reviews and reinforces basic skills in the areas of spelling, capitalization, punctuation, grammar, and usage. It also provides oral language practice and proofreading skills.

In addition, the program's lessons treat key topics from geography, history, science, the arts, literature, mythology, and multicultural studies, you can use these lessons as springboards for activities across the entire curriculum. Regular, sustained use of these daily language exercises will not only improve your child's language skills but will also enhance their general cultural literacy.

Time Management

Each lesson (set of two sentences) requires about five to ten minutes a day. These lessons work best when presented daily, not once a week for twenty-five minutes. Regular practice will lead to greater skill retention than will occasional immersion.

How to Use Daily Language Practice

Have the student print or copy the incorrect sentences and then correct them on a separate piece of paper using the proofreading symbols. Next, have the student explain the reason for each correction. Check the corrections with the provided answers.
