Use It! Don't Lose It!: Daily Language Practice (Grade 8)

Each book in the Use It! Don't Lose It!: Daily Language Practice series provides review exercises for five days a week for 36 weeks. Five problems a day are provided for Monday through Thursday, with exercises dealing in vocabulary, spelling, mechanics, grammar, literature, research, writing skills, and more. These exercises come in a variety of formats, including identifying parts of sentences, proofreading/editing sentences, sequencing, and multiple choice, short answer, and definition questions.

Each Friday page has a longer reading comprehension passage with several questions and an additional writing task. The practice in each workbook is set up in a “spiraling sequence,” so students come back to each skill at a regular interval. Black and white drawings illustrate the exercises. Most of the questions can be answered directly in the book (except the Friday writing prompts) and pages are reproducible. These exercises are quick and simple but effectively cover and review the important skills at each grade level.

An answer key is included.
