Introduction Comprehensive Language Arts Spiraled Review Do you wish you had a great spiral Language Arts Review / Bell Work / Warm Up Work / Homework resource? Need one that covers every 4th grade Language Arts objective, plus some 3rd grade objectives for review? I was always struggling to pull together resources for all my 4th grade needs, plus 3rd grade skills that needed review. I am pleased to publish this comprehensive Language Arts Review that does just that! This resource is a spiral review of all language arts objectives covered by 4th grade Common Core and TEKS (for Texas teachers). Also included are many 3rd grade objectives that need review. -36 Weeks, 5 Days Per Week! -Full-Sized 11” x 8-1/2” practice sheet for each day of the week! -Friday Quiz that includes questions covered during the week! -Use for Warm-Up, Bell Work, Homework or targeted practice! -Easily avoids loss of skills due to lack of practice! Introduction – Page 1 As Warm-Up Work One way to use this comprehensive resource is to use one sheet each day for warm-up or bell work. This should take students about five minutes. Then, review the completed questions with your students. This may take another 5-10 minutes – time very well spent, as you are spiraling through each objective many times throughout the year. On Thursday, students take their completed sheets home and study for the quiz on Friday. This is a great way to communicate to parents what is being studied at school! And parents will love you for the study guide! Friday Quiz Each question on the quiz is a repeat of a question from during the week. If students study or remember the questions from the week, they can earn 100% on every Friday quiz! Friday’s quiz can be a weekly Language Arts grade. Homework Another way to use this resource is for homework. Each week has a cover sheet, so you can easily copy the whole week’s packet at one time. I send a homework packet home on Monday, and it’s due on Friday. You can still give the quiz on Friday as a homework or quiz grade. Introduction – Page 2 Answer Keys The answer keys are conveniently located at the back of the resource and clearly labeled by objective. Thus, you can easily skim through the answer key to find a particular objective you need to review. There are many possibilities when you have such a comprehensive review as this resource. Objectives Covered Every single objective is covered many times, including: Types of sentences; sentence structure; parts of speech (nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions); spelling; contractions; possessives; similes; metaphors; irregular plurals; prepositional phrases; subject/verb agreement; prefixes and suffixes; irregular verbs; Greek and Latin roots; reflexive pronouns; correlative conjunctions; analogies; homophones; relative pronouns; order of adjectives; progressive verb tenses; relative adverbs; progressive adverbs; comparative and superlative adjectives; proper nouns; punctuation, including emphasis on dialogue, commas and ending marks; hyperbole; sensory language; personification; onomatopoeia; double negatives; subordinating conjunctions; progressive verbs; reflexive pronouns; proper adjectives; demonstrative adjectives; and dependent clauses. Introduction – Page 3 Each day includes: -a sentence to be edited -a revising and editing question in test format -three other topics from the list of objectives above! Contents This resource contains 180 pages of student practice sheets, a cover sheet for each week (36 cover sheets), and 36 answer keys, for a total of over 250 sheets in this comprehensive review packet. The Last Week The last week of school is always challenging to keep students’ interest. Thus, the last week of this review includes riddles, palindromes, hink pinks, and hinky pinkies! Easy for Teachers; Fun for Kids! I hope you will be as pleased with this Language Arts Review as I am.
