Level A can also be used for SPED students.
Grammar

Fix It! Grammar is our award-winning grammar program for students in grades 3–12.
We are providing the first three weeks of lessons in three different levels.
Vocabulary

Both Fix It! Grammar and Structure and Style for Students present vocabulary words embedded within the assignments.
In Structure and Style for Students, students are presented with vocabulary words each week. Students can write the definitions to those words in their notebooks.
Altogether, as many as eight vocabulary words are taught each week.
Poetry Memorization

Linguistic Development through Poetry Memorization is an optional course that introduces students to the beauty of language and literature. In learning and memorizing poetry, students learn sophisticated syntax and vocabulary as well as elocution skills. We are providing downloadable teacher’s manual, student pages, and the MP3 audio for the entire first level of the course.
While these times are indeed filled with much uncertainty, we hope to help you feel confident that you can continue to meet your students’ needs.
