The questions in this book provide students with practice in the following key areas of third-grade grammar instruction: * sentence structure * nouns * verbs * adjectives * pronouns * adverbs * compound words * contractions + articles * prepositions Use this comprehensive resource to improve your students’ overall grammar proficiency, which will promote greater self-confidence in their grammar skills as well as provide the everyday practice necessary to succeed jn testing situations. Grammar Minutes Grade 3 features 100 “Minutes.” Each Minute consists of 10 questions for students to complete within a short time period. As students are becoming familiar with the format of the Minutes, they may need more time to complete each one. Once they are comfortable and familiar with the format, give students a one- to two-minute period to complete each Minute. The quick, timed format, combined with instant feedback, makes this a challenging and motivational assignment that offers students an ongoing opportunity to improve their own proficiency in a manageable, nonthreatening way. 3 introductionHow to Use This Book Grammar Minutes Grade 3 is designed to generally progress through the skills as they are introduced in the classroom in third grade. The Minutes can be implemented in either numerical order, starting with Minute 1, or in any order based on your students’ specific needs during the school year. The complexity of the sentences and the tasks within each skill being covered gradually increase so that the first Minute of a skill is generally easier than the : second Minute on the same skill. Review lessons are included throughout the / book, as well as in an application section at the end of the book. Grammar Minutes Grade 3 can be used in a variety of ways. Use one Minute a day as a warm-up activity, skill review, assessment, test prep, extra credit assignment, or homework assignment. Keep in mind that students will get the most benefit from each Minute if they receive immediate feedback. If you use the Minute as a timed activity, begin by placing the paper facedown on the students’ desks or displaying it as a transparency. Use a clock or kitchen timer to measure one minute—or more if needed. As the Minutes become more advanced, use your discretion on extending the time frame to several minutes if needed. Encourage students to concentrate on completing each question successfully and not to dwell on questions they cannot complete. At the end of the allotted time, have the students stop working. Read the answers from | | | | 1 | | the answer key (pages 108-112) or display them on a transparency Have students correct their own work and record their scores on the Minute Journal i reproducible (page 6). Then have the class go over each question together to discuss the answers. Spend more time on questions that were clearly challenging for most of the class. Tell students that some skills that seemed difficult for them will appear again on future Minutes and that they will have another opportunity for success. by = How to Use This Book 4ed y Seem eee ere m ee oe scree eseceseneseeesesoeersaseee Teach students the following strategies for improving their scores, especially if you time their work on each Minute: leave more challenging items for last | come back to items they are unsure of after they have completed all other items make educated guesses when they encounter items with which they are unfamiliar ask questions if they are still unsure about anything Students will ultimately learn to apply these strategies to other assignments and testing situations. The Minutes are designed to assess and improve grammar proficiency and should not be included as part of a student's overall language arts grade. However, the Minutes provide an excellent opportunity to identify which skills the class as a whole needs to practice or review. Use this information to plan the content of future grammar lessons. For example, if many students in the class have difficulty with a Minute on commas, additional lessons in that area will be useful and valuable for the students’ future success. While Minute scores will not necessarily be included in students’ formal grades, it is important to recognize student improvements by offering individual or class rewards and incentives for scores above a certain level ' ona daily and/or weekly basis. Showing students recognition for their efforts provides additional motivation to succeed. 5 How to Use This Bookseoid Buy{NO | MABOAI GOOT O € 9POAD + S9/MUIY OUTED te Journal Inu M Minute JournalScope and Sequence MINUTE — SKILL AAINUT!
