A coworker of mine recently let me borrow this book and I immediately bought my own copy! In an educational world filled with state and national testing, it feels good to spend some time 'getting back to the basics' of spelling and grammar. These simple exercises make it possible without taking too much time away from your original lesson plans. I give the exercises as a daily warm up activity for my 7th graders (with a 5-10 minute limit). I highly recommend this item for middle school English/Language Arts teachers.

This review is from: Daily Language Review, Grade 6 (Paperback)

If you are looking for a good way to tackle the "oh-so-fun" grammar aspect of your standards, this is it. I took 10min in the begining of each class to go over each day as bellwork. It is digestible for kids and very relevant to the skills they are suppposed to be learning. It includes, idioms and metaphors ect. My only problem is that, at least at my school, the material is a little advanced, so i used the 5th grade for 6th grade and so on.
