Ridgewood Grammar by Ridgewood, NJ, Public Schools, Terri Wiss, Nancy Bison Grades 3–5
In this grammar series, students in third, fourth, and fifth grade receive
detailed instruction about the parts of speech and their function in sentences.
The connection between grammar and clear, engaging writing is emphasized. The
numerous practice exercises ensure students’ mastery of the concepts.
Review sections revisit several units so that students can practice using different
grammar elements together. A detailed Final Review chapter reinforces every
concept in the individual chapters. The Final Review material can also be used
for testing, as additional work for students who need extra help or as a challenge
for more able students.
