Interactive Language Arts Activities Companion: Just the Basics, Set 1

Description

The DIGITAL AND PRINTABLE language arts interactive activities in this unit address the focus skills in the Mentor Sentences Unit: Just the Basics Set 1 (Grades 3-5).

All of the lessons in this set cover foundational, basic skills and are compiled from Volumes 1, 2, and 3. I have had requests for this from teachers who teach special education or students with very low grammar and writing skills.

THESE ARE NOT BRAND NEW INTERACTIVE ACTIVITIES.

There is ONE activity for each week to help you work with the focus skill in the mentor sentence lesson and apply it to writing, and each one is provided in printable and Google Slides formats.
