Build Students' Profiency in Reading/Literature, Writing, and Grammar

Something for Every Day
(Can be used for 6-12 but is more easily adapted to high school.)

This book provides secondary students with 150 daily practices that integrate reading/literature, writing, and grammar skills. Classroom discussions naturally follow the readings, as students want to express their opinions about the writing as well as various forms that possible answers can take. Students like the pattern of reading, analyzing, and writing their own versions of the models.

This unique approach is based on students' reading a short passage a day (or any other designated time period) in all genres/modes and analyzing the strengths of the piece using typically two stylistic device questions as well as two grammar and two literature questions. Also included are Quick-Write assignments for students to apply the theme/content of the model to some aspect of their lives, using the skills studied for the day.

What makes the book even more unusual is that the models, the daily excerpts, are teacher-written samples from across the country. Students will have the opportunity not only to see their teachers taking part in the writing process but to comment on it, a powerful tool that reinforces the importance of the art of writing.

• Complete with six comprehensive tests.
• For advanced 8th middle school students to high school students.
