Conjunctions

Glue bottle labeled 'CONJUNCTIONS' on lined paper next to a pencil, symbolizing how conjunctions connect ideas in sentences.

Empower your students to ‘glue’ their ideas together with our Cram Jams lesson on conjunctions! Using examples like ‘and,’ ‘but,’ and ‘or,’ this lesson helps improve sentence fluency and coherence, making it an essential tool for enhancing students’ writing and communication skills.

Adverbs

Adverbs help us express how, when, and where actions happen, adding details and specificity to our writing and language. As students sing along with this song, they become adverb experts, ready to sprinkle their writing with colorful descriptions!

Text Evidence

Teaching young students to cite text evidence is like turning them into reading detectives! It helps instill a sense of responsibility by giving credit to authors, fostering integrity in their work. Additionally, it strengthens their reading comprehension, as they learn to analyze and extract information from texts. By imparting this skill, we empower them to construct well-supported arguments and participate confidently in academic discussions.

Adjectives

Learning about adjectives is crucial because these descriptive words play a fundamental role in language and communication. Adjectives provide details, color, and depth to our descriptions, allowing us to paint vivid mental images and convey more precise information. Help students learn all about these valuable parts of speech with this *fun*, *exciting* lesson!

Verbs

Let’s talk about verbs! In this lesson, we learn what verbs are, what past, present, and future tenses are, how verbs can describe states of being, and more.

Text Features

Headings, illustrations, captions, tables of contents, timelines, etc.—all the things that help us navigate a large body of nonfiction text—are discussed and explained right here in this lesson.

Nouns

In addition to explaining what a noun is, this lesson addresses the distinction between common and proper nouns and touches on the concept of abstract nouns.

Homophones and Homographs

Words with different meanings that share the same pronunciation and/or spelling can create a lot of confusion. Here’s a song that helps make sense of it all!

The Writing Process

Brainstorm, draft, revise, edit, publish–we go over these steps of the writing process in this lesson to help students take their writing from an initial idea to a finished masterpiece!
