Build Your Education: Grammar Foundations, Level 1 (Grades K–2)

Teaching grammar in a mixed-age classroom doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Grammar Foundations, Level 1 is designed for teachers working with Kindergarten, Grade 1, and Grade 2 students together in one-room, homeschool, or micro-school settings.

This teacher guide provides a 35-week framework that introduces and develops essential grammar skills through a blend of direct instruction, interactive practice, and project-based learning. Each week includes:

Tiered Learning Objectives: Must/Should/Aspire targets tailored for K, 1st, and 2nd grade.

Structured Lesson Plans: A clear 4-day classroom plan with warm-ups, mini-lessons, activities, and wrap-ups.

At-Home Connections: Parent-guided practice designed for simple reinforcement beyond the classroom.

Weekly Projects: Hands-on cumulative projects that make grammar meaningful and fun.

Assessment Tools: Daily checks, end-of-week tasks, and reflection prompts.

From nouns and verbs to contractions, homophones, prefixes, suffixes, and punctuation, this book builds step by step, ensuring students gain the confidence to write clear, complete, and creative sentences.

This teacher resource serves as the foundation of the Build Your Education Grammar series. Forthcoming student workbooks will provide ready-to-use practice activities and reinforcement aligned with these lessons, making this series a complete toolkit for educators guiding students through the early years of grammar learning.

Whether you’re a classroom teacher, homeschool parent, or micro-school leader, Grammar Foundations, Level 1 gives you the structure and flexibility to help students succeed in language arts from the very start.
