Hey guys, I’m struggling to find the right balance between grammar work and giving my students enough time to improve their writing skills. I want them to understand grammatical concepts and apply them correctly, but I also don’t want my lessons to feel like endless worksheets and drills... Right now, I dedicate a portion of class to direct grammar, but I find that students often don’t transfer those skills into their actual writing.. On the other hand, if I focus too much on writing, I notice frequent grammar mistakes that make their work hard to read. How do you incorporate grammar into your writing instruction in a way that feels meaningful and not disconnected? Do you teach grammar in context, or do you find that separate mini-lessons work best?

Hi everyone, I’m looking for resources to help kids who are a bit behind in vocabulary, phonics, and comprehension. I’m thinking about purchasing TPT bundles but not really sure they're worth the investment. If you have any advice, suggestions, or know where I can find comprehensive resources I’d really appreciate it!
