Learn more about grammar resources
Grammar is the study of the rules and structures that govern language. It encompasses a multitude of elements, including parts of speech, sentence structure, vocabulary, punctuation, and much more. With a strong grasp of grammar, students can make their writing stronger, clearer, and more effective.
Initially, students will learn about the parts of speech, like nouns, verbs, and adjectives. As they progress in their learning, they’ll explore things like irregular verbs and how to construct intricate sentences, phrases, and clauses.
If you’re a teacher or parent looking for printable and digital resources to help your student learn grammar, but you’re not sure where to start, TPT has got you covered. We’ve got a comprehensive collection of grammar resources, created by other teachers, that are designed to help with any need across grade levels — whether you're teaching grammar to 2nd graders or 11th graders. With plenty of TPT resources at your fingertips, you can make a grammar expert out of your students in no time.
Fun and engaging grammar activities to try
You can teach grammar effectively and engage your students at the same time, with a variety of activities and techniques that cater to different learning styles and preferences. Here are a few examples of the different types of activities that you can find on TPT to help teach students about key grammatical concepts.
Sentence Diagramming & Building
Help students see the relationships between words, phrases, and clauses by having them break down sentences into visual diagrams. Or, help them understand sentence structure by giving them a set of words or phrases and having them construct grammatically correct sentences.
Grammar Word Search
Use word search puzzles to have students locate words that relate to a specific grammar concept (for example, you could have students search for adjectives).
Grammar Bingo
This is a great way to engage the whole class and reinforce a grammar concept your students are learning. Simply call out various grammar rules, sentence examples, or parts of speech, and have students mark the corresponding grammar rule (or error!).
Escape Rooms
Using an escape room-style activity, students can solve grammar puzzles to "escape" within a given time limit. They’re also great for providing children with the opportunity to showcase everything they've learned with a competitive element.
Grammar Quizzes
Regular quizzes can reinforce learning, test students’ mastery of grammar, and help track their progress over time.
These (and other!) activities can help deepen your students’ appreciation for grammar and enhance their creative writing skills.
