Just in time for the World Series! Twelve baseball-themed activity sheets give students practice with pronouns, adjectives and adverbs, prepositions and prepositional phrases, conjunctions, interjections, and verbals. The answer key is right below.

The answer key for all twelve baseball activity sheets, marked the way students are asked to answer: written answers, colored circles, and underlines.

Use this PowerPoint to help your students get a handle on linking verbs with these examples! Practice identifying predicate adjectives and predicate nouns.

Introducing all the Word Birds with short little stories that students love! Each bird is introduced separately and the story gives a little insight into their unique personality.

Learn a little bit about each of our feathered friends. Students quickly internalize each bird's unique personality and learn who is friends with whom, and why they don't all get along. They may be small in stature, but they play a huge role in helping students understand the different jobs that each part of speech plays. Headbands and bowties do matter and make understanding complicated concepts, such as possessives or gerunds, easy eggs to crack.

The surprising details of what students should know and when they should know it. For example, by third grade, students are expected to "Explain the function of nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs in general and their functions in particular sentences." Could you, as a teacher, explain the difference in how the word kitchen is used in the following sentences? "The new house has a huge kitchen," and "A blue bird hit the kitchen window." Understanding the difference yourself doesn't count (it is a lot more difficult to explain these concepts to young students)!

This is how we approach mastery-based learning. Everything is incredibly well scaffolded. The materials offer a broad range of engaging, multisensory activities that allow flexibility and creativity, so students can fly high all by themselves.

Once students master syntax and structure, grammar rules start to make sense (well, most of them).
