I just got off the phone with my Grandpa, who reminded me of a story of my dad’s youth. So in my dad’s honor, I present this grammar worksheet that reminds me of something he and his brothers would have done. Enjoy!
Free grammar practice worksheet (and a reminder of the value of practice). Happy day to you!

Parts of speech can be pretty lame to teach (and hard to teach) if you don’t have a good, painless way to do it a little at a time. Here’s what one school does:
Parts of speech posters.
Parts of speech posters.
Literacy journal page
Magnets for diagramming sentences on the board.

But there’s just not enough time! As money for fine arts dwindles, kids are getting less and less music in school. I could quote any of a million studies that show music helps with academics and character development, but I won’t. Instead, I present my “Musicians To Know” series. It’s 10 single-page grammar practice activities that teach kids about the most influential musicians of all time. The activities involve identifying parts of speech, prepositional phrases, dependent clauses, using a dictionary and thesaurus, etc. There’s even a little simple math thrown in. Appropriate for 5th grade and up is my guess, but I don’t know your class, so you be the judge.
