Each skill follows a simple five-day routine, just 10 minutes a day at the start of your writing block: students notice the skill in a mentor sentence, learn the rule with an anchor chart, practice with imitation sentences, apply it in their own writing, and show what they know on a short assessment. With mentor sentence slides, anchor charts, worksheets, assessments, rubrics, and video demonstrations all built in, it’s an easy way to make grammar stick without giving up your whole writing block.

This Grades 1-2 Grammar Curriculum is Right For You If…

  • You have limited time for grammar and want every minute to count.

  • You’re tired of students acing the worksheet but never using the skill when they actually write.

  • You want to teach grammar in context, using best practices that stick.

  • You want to save prep time with a ready-to-use routine that runs the same way every week.

A Predictable 5-Day Routine (10 Minutes a Day!)

Every skill follows the same simple five-day routine, one short step a day, so students always know what comes next:

  • Day 1: Notice the Skill. Students notice the skill in a mentor sentence and discuss how it works, before any formal instruction.

  • Day 2: Teach the Skill. Students learn the terms and rules using an anchor chart you build together.

  • Day 3: Practice the Skill. Students write imitation sentences that follow the mentor sentence’s structure with their own words.

  • Day 4: Apply the Skill. Students use the skill in their own authentic writing, with an optional Revising Challenge to take it further.

  • Day 5: Assess the Skill. Students respond to a short writing prompt so you can see how well they apply the skill on their own.

Note: A short video demonstration is included for each step, so you can see exactly how the routine works before you teach it.
