Daily Language Review, Grade 1

I bought this for my son last summer when he was starting in K. We don't do it everyday, when we do remember to do it, he can sit and finish 1 week at a time. The questions are easy for him to understand and complete on his own (although he's naturally good at language skills). It's a good review of what he already knows and introduces new concepts (like sentence combining) in a gradual pace. It is writing/reading intensive with little pictures on each page, parent assistance is needed for those who is still learning to read and write, but can also be completed independently. There is a chart at the end of each week to keep score of how much questions were answered correctly. Today when I pulled the book out, he said 'YAY! English is FUN! I LOVE doing English!' (p.s. he is immersed in Chinese environment) I will definitely recommend this book and plan to continue to use this series when he finishes this book.

This book is organized by day of the week (M-F) for each lesson. The lessons progress nicely at a very good pace, just a bit ahead of my daughter's 1st grade curriculum. It serves as both a review and daily practice for her. The lessons are also self-explanatory so my daughter can do the lesson all by herself and have me check it. At the end of each lesson is a progress table to show how many (problems) the child has done correctly. Overall a very well organized and fun book. I highly recommend it.

Good

The exercises are simple for ELL students learnigg by English.

My friends in teaching have a daily language activity and daily math activity for their students to complete during the homeroom period. This is great for this type of activity. It is also great for supplementing your child's instruction and for tutoring.

I love Evan-Moor curriculum! This book is no exception. Language activities are arranged into short 5 minute daily activities that my child is eager to do. This book focuses on sentence fixing, grammar, vocabulary spelling and comprehension skills. It is a great value and I would highly recommended this book.

Great daily review. I used them all last year for morning work. They are only half of a sheet of paper for each day and 5 questions each day. They don't take a lot of time (if you were looking for more filler). They go along with 1st grade standards well. I did not use the progress charts at the end of each week (children mark how many they got right for each day on a graph).

This takes so little time and is a great review or teaching tool.
