Mastering Grammar and Language Arts!
Share this:
Teaching grammar and language art skills can be a challenge for anyone. How do you hit all of the skills…effectively? How do you know your students are grasping the concepts you are teaching? Often times, only the major grammar and language arts skills are covered, while many are overlooked or only slightly touched upon.
TEACHING GRAMMAR AND LANGUAGE ARTS
There are not enough genuine opportunities for students to learn, practice and revisit grammar and language arts skills. Many of these skills can be boring and/or overwhelming for kids to learn, especially when they are not given a variety of ways to learn these skills. This is why I created our 2nd Grade Grammar and Language Arts Bundle! I wanted to take the BORING OUT of important skills and incorporate activities that are fun, hands-on and highly effective. These language arts and grammar packets not only help students learn about these skills, they help students MASTER these skills! The NO PREP packets give students many opportunities to practice a specific language arts and grammar skill on different levels.
Let’s take a look at a few of these packets up close, starting with our Nouns Packet!
Each Packet has a Cover Page to introduce the topic…
Each packet will incorporate an interactive flip book. I like to print this page on colored paper. Students begin by cutting out their flip book and pasting the left side to a blank composition notebook. Once the flip book is inside the notebook, students flip the flaps and give examples for the types of nouns on the outside. This is a wonderful way for students to revisit, review and easily reference the skill they learned! Remember, we are going for mastery! This flip book includes common nouns, proper nouns, plural nouns and irregular nouns.
Under the proper noun flip, she wrote Audrey, Disneyland, Moppy (our dog), Daisy (our other dog) and Sophia. This flap of the flip book reminds students that the nouns that name a person, place or thing, and get a capital letter are called proper nouns. The BEST part about these interactive flip books is that you can continually refer back to them as a review.
Let’s take a look at some of the noun pages in action…
In this example, we are reading a short passage, identifying the different types of nouns and highlighting each type of noun. We used red pencil for a person, orange for a place, yellow for a thing and green for animals. This simple activity helps students deliberately identify and record different types of nouns.
Once the passage is highlighted, students record their answers in the columns below.
Graphing Nouns covers proper nouns, common nouns, singular possessive and plural possessive…
In this activity, students read the tiles of the books and categorize them by people, places, animals and things. In this example, we grabbed some colorful stickers and used them to color code the books! Such a simple, yet fun and effective way to practice nouns!
Sort and write the nouns in the correct column…
Let’s make it fun! Here we did a scavenger hunt around the house for nouns. I let her wander around the house and do this activity completely on her own. I wanted to see what she knew and to see if there was anything we needed to revisit. She did a GREAT job and she was pretty proud of herself!
Sorting Common and Proper Nouns..
Regular and Irregular Plural Nouns with Word Searches…
Roll and Write a Plural Noun…
Plural Nouns Cut and Paste
Adjectives are one of the first parts of speech that we teach students. This packet not only introduces adjectives, but takes it up a notch to master adjectives!
Write sentences using adjectives…
Identifying Adjectives…
Pronouns Packet
Here is the Pronoun Flip Book that helps students understand personal pronouns, possessive pronouns and reflexive pronouns.
The Color by Pronoun has your student identify whether or not a word is a pronoun, and then has them decide what types of pronouns they are.

Magnificent site. Lots of helpful info here. I’m sending it to a few friends ans additionally sharing in delicious. And naturally, thank you in your effort!
I get so excited every time I see a new addition to the growing bundle. I teach second grade. Four days a week, we have UA (universal access) time where kids review concepts taught that day/week, and I pull small groups. The kids LOVE the worksheets and review. They’re so much more fun to look at than the ones that come with the curriculum. They use markers and crayons and work together. Thanks for always creating fun and engaging products. Merry Christmas!
Oh no! Change then to than…some teacher I am! ha ha ha
My son loves all your activities and is learning so much. One question, what do you use to stick the sight words on the wall?
Hi Mia!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I am so happy to hear that your son is learning so much and enjoys the activities! I use a double sided sticky foam that I purchased from Lakeshore. I hope this helps!
Kindly,
Annie
Hi Annie, :o)
We love love LOVE theMoffattgirls!! You have such awesome materials! They have been a tremendous help in our studies.
I do have a Q though: Hopefully it hasn’t already been asked elsewhere on the site but HOW do you get all of these fabulous little printables into that spiral bound notebook? The spiral bound pages are SO much nicer than the loose pages or binder-type notebooks etc.
Hi Annie!
I have been a fan of your work for many years. My 9 year old has enjoyed many of your products. You truly make learning fun! That said I am in need of grammar assistance. We have been using some well known and highly recommended grammar curriculum, but I don’t feel it provides enough practice for such a complex skill. My little one is working on a fourth grade level (fifth grade in reading.). Your grammar bundles look great. What’s holding me back are the grade levels. Any advice or recommendations? Your opinion and assistance is greatly appreciated!!
Thank you,
Candace
I love the second grade grammar book. Now I’m going to need one for third!
Any chance of making a 3rd grade pack??
Amazing bundle!! Cant wait to try with my son!! These packets make learning so much more fun for him which makes it easier for him to learn and understand it. Thank you!!
I need to teach grammar for my first grade kid.. Please help me
Hi Tara!
The First Grade Language Arts and Grammar Mega Bundle covers every standard that you would need to cover for first grade. Each packet has multiple ways to practice each topic. You do not have to teach each packet from cover to cover. Instead, you can skip around and choose the activities that target the needs of your students. As you progress through a packet, the activities increase in challenge. I suggest saving some of the more challenging activities for later as a spiral review. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions. Here is a link to the 1st Grade Language Arts and Grammar Bundle: Click Here.
