Learn more about grammar resources.

Grammar is the study of the rules and structures that govern language. It encompasses a multitude of elements, including parts of speech, sentence structure, vocabulary, punctuation, and much more. With a strong grasp of grammar, students can make their writing stronger, clearer, and more effective.

Initially, students will learn about the parts of speech, like nouns, verbs, and adjectives. As they progress in their learning, they’ll explore things like irregular verbs and how to construct intricate sentences, phrases, and clauses.

If you’re a teacher or parent looking for printable and digital resources to help your student learn grammar, but you’re not sure where to start, TPT has got you covered. We’ve got a comprehensive collection of grammar resources, created by other teachers, that are designed to help with any need across grade levels — whether you're teaching grammar to 2nd graders or 11th graders. With plenty of TPT resources at your fingertips, you can make a grammar expert out of your students in no time.

Fun and engaging grammar activities to try

You can teach grammar effectively and engage your students at the same time, with a variety of activities and techniques that cater to different learning styles and preferences. Here are a few examples of the different types of activities that you can find on TPT to help teach students about key grammatical concepts.

Sentence Diagramming & Building

Help students see the relationships between words, phrases, and clauses by having them break down sentences into visual diagrams. Or, help them understand sentence structure by giving them a set of words or phrases and having them construct grammatically correct sentences.

Grammar Word Search

Use word search puzzles to have students locate words that relate to a specific grammar concept (for example, you could have students search for adjectives).

Grammar Bingo

This is a great way to engage the whole class and reinforce a grammar concept your students are learning. Simply call out various grammar rules, sentence examples, or parts of speech, and have students mark the corresponding grammar rule (or error!).

Escape Rooms

Using an escape room-style activity, students can solve grammar puzzles to "escape" within a given time limit. They’re also great for providing children with the opportunity to showcase everything they've learned with a competitive element.

Grammar Quizzes

Regular quizzes can reinforce learning, test students’ mastery of grammar, and help track their progress over time.

These (and other!) activities can help deepen your students’ appreciation for grammar and enhance their creative writing skills.

What Do Students Learn in High School English Language Arts?

High school is an important phase of one's academic life, as the knowledge gained during these four years will help one throughout his or her professional life. Till high school, most of the students have already developed strong reading and writing skills. Still, teachers in high school do focus on written and spoken content of the English language. It is a must for high school students to have an excellent pronunciation, punctuation, and vocabulary.

Given below are some of the most important things that high school students learn during their English language arts class:

Writing Skills

During high school, students learn a lot of new and unique writing skills. With the help of these writing skills, high school students can write essays, stories, and letters in a way that reflects their mastery of language and other such skills. During high school, students are also taught how to write narrative, descriptive, expository, persuasive, and argumentative content.

Reading Skills

High school students should read as much as possible. In high school, students are taught how to make inferences, how to grab the main idea of any written text, and how to read between the lines. High school students must also know a lot of new words and reading helps them to learn some new and unique words all the time.

High school teachers should focus on student's vocabulary and pronunciation. Teachers should tell students one or two new words daily along with their spellings, meaning, correct pronunciation, and should encourage students to use that word in their daily life. Once a week, a class should be organized in which students are asked to verbally communicate with each other or give a speech on a specified topic. This will help students in improving their pronunciation and enhancing their speaking skills.
