What’s in Daily Language Review?
-The book is divided into 36 weekly sections. There are five practice items for each day of the week.
-Monday through Thursday follow this format:
-two sentences to edit – corrections need to be made in punctuation, capitalization, and grammar.
-three items that practice a variety of language and reading skills.
-Friday’s practice cycles through five formats:
-identifying mistakes – deciding if marked sections of a reading passage contain punctuation, capitalization, and spelling errors.
-combining sentences – two simple sentences are combined to form one more sophisticated sentence.
-language usage practice – choosing the correct verb form, pronoun, homophone, etc. to use in a sentence.
-reference materials – choosing whether to use an encyclopedia, almanac, dictionary, thesaurus, or phone book to find information.
-figurative speech – giving definitions for figures of speech.
-An answer key for each week is provided on the same page as the Friday lesson.
-Scope and sequence charts on pages 3 and 4 detail the specific skills to be practiced and show when they will be presented. The skills chosen have been selected from a variety of language texts at this level.
