The main objective of Grammar Minutes Grade 3 is grammar proficiency;
attained by teaching students to apply grammar skills to answer questions
effortlessly and rapidly. The questions in this book provide students with
practice in the following key areas of third-grade grammar instruction:

• sentence structure
• nouns
• verbs
• adjectives
• pronouns
• adverbs
• compound words
• contractions
• articles
• prepositions

Use this comprehensive resource to improve your students' overall


grammar proficiency; which will promote greater self-confidence in their
grammar skills as well as provide the everyday practice necessary to
succeed in testing situations.

Grammar Minutes Grade 3 features 100 "Minutes." Each Minute consists


of 10 questions for students to complete within a short time period. As
students are becoming familiar with the format of the Minutes, they may
need more time to complete each one. Once they are comfortable and
familiar with the format, give students a one- to two-minute period to
complete each Minute. The quick, timed format, combined with instant
feedback, makes this a challenging and motivational assignment that
offers students an ongOing opportunity to improve their own proficiency
in a manageable, non threatening way.

3 Introduction

How to Use This Book ""-1\- W" .....

.......................................................................................................J'
Grammar Minutes Grade 3 is designed to generally progress through the skills
as they are introduced in the classroom in third grade. The Minutes
can be implemented in either numerical order, starting with Minute 1, or
in any order based on your students' specific needs during the school year.
The complexity of the sentences and the tasks within each skill being covered
gradually increase so that the first Minute of a skill is generally easier than the
second Minute on the same skill. Review lessons are included throughout the
book, as well as in an application section at the end of the book.

Grammar Minutes Grade 3 can be used in a variety of ways. Use one Minute a
day as a warm-up activity, skill review, assessment, test prep, extra credit
assignment, or homework assignment. Keep in mind that students will get
the most benefit from each Minute if they receive immediate feedback.

If you use the Minute as a timed activity, begin by placing the paper facedown
on the students' desks or displaying it as a transparency Use a clock or kitchen
timer to measure one minute-or more if needed. As the Minutes become more
advanced, use your discretion on extending the time frame to several minutes
if needed. Encourage students to concentrate on completing each question
successfully and not to dwell on questions they cannot complete. At the end
of the allotted time, have the students stop working. Read the answers from
the answer key (pages 108-112) or display them on a transparency Have
students correct their own work and record their scores on the Minute Journal
reproducible (page 6). Then have the class go over each question together to
discuss the answers. Spend more time on questions that were clearly
challenging for most of the class. Tell students that some skills that seemed
difficult for them will appear again on future Minutes and that they will have
another opportunity for success.

-J\.-
o '" '" .. '" '" . . . CO ......... '" .. Cl .. '" ... '" • '" '" ...... '" '" '" • '" .. '" '" ........ '" '"

Teach students the following strategies for improving their scores, especially
if you time their work on each Minute:

• leave more challenging items for last


• come back to items they are unsure of after they have completed all
other items
• make educated guesses when they encounter items with which they
are unfamiliar
• ask questions if they are still unsure about anything

Students will ultimately learn to apply these strategies to other assignments


and testing situations.

The Minutes are designed to assess and improve grammar proficiency and
should not be included as part of a student's overall language arts grade.
However, the Minutes provide an excellent opportunity to identify which
skills the class as a whole needs to practice or review. Use this information to
plan the content of future grammar lessons. For example, if many students
in the class have difficulty with a Minute on commas, additional lessons in
that area will be useful and valuable for the students' future success.

While Minute scores will not necessarily be included in students' formal


grades, it is important to recognize student improvements by offering
individual or class rewards and incentives for scores above a certain level
on a daily and/or weekly basis. Showing students recognition for their
efforts provides additional motivation to succeed.
