Zaner-Bloser GUM Grade 5: Student & Teacher Editions (Homeschool Bundle)

The GUM ---"Grammar, Usage, and Mechanics" curriculum---will build your students' mastery of the conventions of standard English.

Short, two-page lessons with five easy steps (Read & Analyze, Practice, Apply, and Reinforce) provide self-guided instruction and practice in less than 15 minutes per day. Sixty lessons plus additional exercises, spelling activities, and proofreading exercises are included to provide full coverage of English and plenty of practice opportunities. This is a spiral curriculum that promotes skill retention and development as students revisit the same grammar, usage, and mechanics topics in greater complexity as they advance through the grades.

Unit post-tests give students practice with test formats they'll encounter on a variety of assessments, such as nonfiction reading passages with text-dependent questions and selected response questions. Diagnostic unit pretests and unit reviews provide teachers with additional assessment options.

The units in this grade 5 workbook cover: sentence structure, parts of speech, usage, grammar, and mechanics. Students will learn about direct/indirect objects, avoiding fragments, modal auxiliaries, correlative conjunctions, Two, To, Too, Set /Sit, forms of be, titles, using semicolons, and more.

The Teacher's Edition provides quick and easy "at a glance" instruction along with options for differentiated instruction, help with assessment and remediation, strategies for English language learners, oral language activities, and correlation information for easy and flexible planning. An annotated Student Edition with Answer Key is included within the Teacher's Edition.
