This 7th Grade ELA spiral review is the perfect daily grammar bellringer or language warm-up. The no-prep format is ideal for helping new students build mastery of critical language arts concepts - like parts of speech, common Greek & Latin roots, figurative language, and the foundations of editing & revision - and daily grammar practice helps 7th graders build the skills they need to understand language while practicing with figurative language, morphology, and conventions to improve their writing and editing skills.
The yearlong seventh grade language spiral allows students to build their skills to succeed. It is easy enough that new language arts teachers can feel confident implementing this resource. With many essential 7th-grade writing & language standards, it can be challenging to cover them all and support regular practice during the class time available.
