Grammar Remediation Instructions
There are several different methods that you will be using to fill in the gaps in your grammar knowledge. It may be a
bit overwhelming at first, but if you are patient, apply yourself diligently to the task, and ask the teacher when
questions arise, you will soon realize that it isn’t nearly as complicated as it appears. Most of the sights that you will
be visiting are divided into general categories; so several standards will be grouped together. For example, you will not
be able to find a single lesson on capitalization and the personal pronoun “I.” You will find when you go to the website
that all of the capitalization rules are grouped together, so you will be learning about both item #1 and item #15 at the
same time. Below you will find instructions for two of the websites that are listed on my website. The other websites
are easy to navigate, however if you have problems, please don’t hesitate to ask Mrs. Halim for help!
On the accountability chart, you will have specific grammatical content that you need to find an activity. WARNING:
You will have access to the answers for some or all of these exercises. It is your job to use these to correct your
answers. If you cheat and just fill in the answers, it will be obvious when you continue to miss the question on the
test.
