Quick Grammar Usage Mechanics Pacing Guide For Multi Day Instructional Planning

These pacing guides are meant to help you plan out your grammar instruction using my Entire Year Quick Grammar, Usage, and Mechanics Half-Sheets with Teaching Slides Bundle.

This product includes three-, four-, and five-day pacing guides. Every lesson and corresponding slide are listed on the guides.

For the three- and four-day guides, you can just circle or highlight the days of the week listed on top that apply to your day one, day two, etc.

Or just use these to copy into your own planner without having to look through every packet of material.

• Using the three-day pacing guide, the complete course will take 28 weeks to complete.

• Using the four-day pacing guide, the complete course will take 21 weeks to complete.

• Using the five-day pacing guide, the complete course will take 17 weeks to complete.

I hope this helps you with planning, and I hope the materials in the other packets are useful and help your students understand these essential grammar, usage, and mechanics topics.

These are all the topics covered in my Quick Grammar Series. Please see the link above if you are interested in the whole bundle.
