Academy Grammar 2, Book 2 of a 2-Year Middle School Grammar Curriculum

This NEW series gives teachers the ability to comfortably stretch an enhanced foundational grammar program over the course of TWO academic years, providing excellent continuity and plenty of concept reinforcement.

Requiring just 45 minutes per week, Richbaub’s Academy Grammar books allow ELA teachers to deliver an expanded, two-year grammar strand that includes many of the fantastic lessons from Richbaub's Introduction to Middle School Grammar 9 (my one-year grammar program) plus additional lessons and practice about grammatical forms, punctuation, and mechanics that are particularly relevant for middle school writers.

No more hunting for mini lessons or grammar worksheets, and no more agonizing about which grammar concepts your middle school students truly need. This is a highly organized, no hassle grammar strand of just the right size and scope that can plug right into your language arts curriculum!

Together, Richbaub's Academy Grammar 1 and Academy Grammar 2 are packed with over 230 pages of lessons and practice exercises and are designed to provide students with an exceptional foundation in grammar over the course of two academic years. Plan to set aside about 45 minutes of time per week to complete this book in one year.

Academy Grammar 1 has nearly 110 pages of lessons and practice, while Academy Grammar 2 contains nearly 130 pages of lessons and practice.

This download includes three pdf files in a compressed (zip) folder:

• A blank, reproducible Academy Grammar 2 student workbook (2nd edition, 2023) of spiraled learning lessons & student practice exercises that you can print for students (129 pages of lessons and practice exercises/147 total pages including table of contents and index)
