It’s a great idea to do a set of lessons on a single day. For instance, you might do the 3 tasks in LESSON 1 on a Monday. That means that you’ll do a grammar page, reading page, and writing page on Monday. Then, you might do the 3 tasks in LESSON 2 on a Tuesday. Working through these lessons a little bit at a time is a great strategy for tackling all of the tasks. • Read through the directions below. HOW TO BE • Find a quiet spot to do your work. • Complete each task to the very best of your ability. SUCCESSFUL • Ask someone for help if you get stuck. DIRECTIONS For each set of lessons, you’ll need to complete 3 tasks: Grammar, reading & writing TASK 1 GRAMMAR • These tasks are set up in a “This” or “That” format. • You can CHOOSE to complete the “This” OR the “That” task. • Review the information at the top of the worksheet to make sure that you understand how to complete the work. • For an extra bonus, you can always complete BOTH tasks. • After you complete the GRAMMAR task, circle “YES!” on the tracking guide page.

English Language Arts Practice Pages TASK 2 READING • You will need to read and respond to different reading passages. • The passages focus on the FACT AND OPINION SKILL. • Here are important things to remember about facts and opinions… REVIEW THIS WHAT IS A FACT? • Facts give specific information. • Facts are definite statements. • Facts tell something that can be proven. • Facts often contain numbers, dates or ages. • Facts can be proven through observation, experience, or research.
