Daily Language Review, Grade 5 Teacher Edition

I am a school-based speech pathologist, so I use the "Oral Language For Daily Use, Grade 6" (OLDU) to supplement work classroom teachers assign during their Language Arts instruction. The lessons are quick and can easily be modified to meet my needs during individualized therapy. This resource is an excellent resource for quick review of language skills!

I really like Evan Moor's daily practice books (language review, paragraph editing). I've used them for a few years now (grades 3-6) in my homeschooling. I like that they don't require a lot of the student's time, but they're very effective. They also facilitate some additional one-on-one time with my daughter. The short time it takes for us to talk through these exercises - after she's completed them on her own - gives me more insight into her level of understanding and progress. It also, selfishly, allows me to see if I have been teaching her well. (I'm looking forward to using the 6-Trait Writing and Word Problems books.)

This is a great daily grammar review book I use with my 5th graders daily. They take a test on the items covered on Friday.

I have used the Daily Language Program, (or as my students call it "DLR"), for several years. It takes about 15 - 20 minutes to do, and the results are remarkable. I highly recommend this book to supplement any language arts curriculum.

I have taught 3rd, 5th and 6th grades and will never teach without a DLR book again. They are simple and easy to use in the classroom, but also provide wonderful skills for students. They go beyond the traditional DOL skills and teach more skills that students need to know. These books are set up so that they can be completed in just a small amount of time but you will see a huge improvement in your students.
