Practising Grammar, Having Fun, and Improving
Your Command of the English Language
Below, you will find a link to a website that has many simple games and activities to help you practise English grammar and sentence structure. From the main 'Home' page, you will find games, topics, videos, and printable materials. Try going to 'Games", and then choosing one type of activity. I suggest trying, 'Sentence Monkey' and starting with the Past Simple and Past Continuous sentences.
To Parents:
Most of the students in my class are still learning how to write correctly and with clarity. When writing a number of sentences about an event or topic, many students are not able to write the entire piece in one consistent 'tense', i. e., the simple past. This and many other writing skills are being introduced and practised at school.
When using this site, I would suggest not only completing 'the drag and drop' sentences, but also copying the sentences into a notebook and reading and rereading them aloud many times to consolidate whichever skill the sentences are focusing on i.e., the simple past.
Suggestion: The sentences could be reread every night during your child's Reading Log time, with the goal that your child will instinctively use the words studied in his or her everyday speech and writing.
