adaptations for Language Arts
By Liz

I took Project Read a few years ago, they have an excellent segment for teaching Language Arts called framing your thoughts. It has a lot of multisensory approaches for teaching subjects predicates and a sentence starts
with a capital letter and ends in a stop sign. Another teacher I taught with developed a color coded system for teaching grammar, it was a different way for students to diagram, they used colors instead of the lines or way we were taught in school for example verbs might be red, predicate yellow, subject blue, etc. Her students really enjoyed doing this using colored pencils. Hope this

helps. Also I used to use Daily oral language which was a 5 minute drill my students did with me everyday to practice editing a lot of times I would use sentences the students wrote in their class work or homework this personalized it and got them motivated to correct their own work. Hope this helps.
