9th Grade Writing Study Guides

Two products in one bundle for even more practice and test prep!

The first product gives you a class lesson with group practice, individual practice and a summative assessment over revising and combing sentences. Because these are closely connected skills that require similar skill sets, your students will have one lesson that can prep them for these areas in testing and writing.

Use the second product for reinforcement, practice or quizzes on combining sentences. This includes a refresher page that students can use for self-guided learning or reference.

*Isolated practice for Revising Sentences coming soon!

INCLUDED:

• Parts of speech activity with images
• Reading prompt templates
• Writing prompt templates
• Practice CONCISE Writing (w/answer key)

When I say "older learners," I'd say around 3rd-6th grade, but there might be exceptions (e.g. an advanced 1st grader may still find use for these, and the concise writing might also go beyond 6th grade).

I encourage you to preview each individually included resource to see what you'd be getting.

I spent two weeks teaching my students revising skills explicitly before it hit me... all the answer choices had SOMETHING to do with knowing how to use a comma!

It's an area where students feel the least confident and it can be fixed. Before your students go into a test or a state exam, make sure they know how to use a comma.

• A short "teach" page is included for self-guided learning.
• Re-teach page for struggling students
• All areas divided by comma usage
