ReadingReading, by definition, is the ability and knowledge of a language that allows comprehension by grasping the meaning of written or printed characters, words, or sentences.

Asked by Elizabeth - Thu Jun 25 08:02:50 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. We used Winston Grammar this year and were quite pleased with it. PROS -Has cards to "manipulate" and to offer hands-on (this really helped my dd) -Easy for kids to understand and follow. -Easy for parents to understand and follow. -Each lesson is fairly quick and painless. -The cards allow for easy review. -Inexpensive -Basic and Advanced are only 34 lessons each so could be completed in 1 school year. CONS -Only covers parts of speech (noun, verb, adj, adv, io, prep, do, etc. So it is not going to be "comprehensive" and it does not include punctuation, capitalization, reading, vocab, spelling, etc. -It does not offer "character quality" instruction as you mentioned in your question.

Anyone have any fun ideas for language arts games? 5-6th grade behavior focus classroom less then 10 players that are learning nouns, verbs, and other parts of speech. Other games would be great.

Mad Libs - use ones you buy, or create some examples and have students create their own (they have to identify the part of speech that their classmates have to brainstorm) 2. Flyswatter game - Write the parts of speech on the board, then have students identify the part of speech of a certain word in a sentence you read by hitting their flyswatter on the correct word on the board. Whoever gets it right stays up while whoever gets it wrong (or last) gives their flyswatter to another student). 3. Another possibility is to have students complete normal worksheets on the topic, but to work in small groups, and for each to have a role to play (Reader, Recorder, etc.) to complete the worksheet. You can make it a contest between the groups… [cont.] Answered by sweetwickedgrl - Wed Sep 2 20:47:24 2009 I know that language arts is very important. However, can you tell me why language arts is NOT important?
Q. Thanks, this is just for a speech in a speech and debate class im taking in summer school. It would be great if you could post some sources such as "kids that do well in language arts have less successful careers than kids who do good in math." (I'm supposed to do a report talking about why language arts isn't as important as math. Asked by John - Wed Jul 15 22:09:45 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Well...you can compare it to math. If you move to another country, your language arts skills won't help you there. But since math is basically the same everywhere, it will. You need to know numbers (measurements) to cook...hahah wait but then you need to be able to read the recipe too huh? Engineers and other jobs that use math make more money than those who use language arts like teachers/editors? try itt Answered by Babe - Wed Jul 15 22:48:57 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Language Arts" See also:
