How many times have your students made errors in their spelling, mechanics, or usage, even though they've been taught the rules for years? Many teachers are tempted to “get back to basics” and teach everyone the concepts again, but that’s not a good use of your time, and it forces too many students to sit through instruction they don’t need. What’s more effective is to teach these conventions in the context of meaningful writing, giving each student the exact instruction they need. But that kind of precise differentiation takes a lot of time. A Grammar Gap Filler is a small, powerful package of materials that teach a single spelling, grammar, or usage rule. Gap Fillers are designed to let students review just the skills they need, on their own, and then get back to writing. When you notice a student making a particular error, simply assign that student the right Gap Filler and you’re done. These videos are just a small part of what a Gap Filler offers. Each one contains: ✔ A short video (which you can use in your own LMS) ✔ A 7-10-question SELF CHECK, plus an answer key, that allows students to quiz themselves on the concept they just learned, then check their answers independently. A link is also provided to a Google Form version of the Self-Check, so students can take it online and get instant feedback about their responses. And now, as of June 2020, teachers will also have the ability to copy the form to their own Drives so that you can see and keep track of student results. ✔ A 1-2-page CHEAT SHEET, giving a quick overview of the concept, which students can keep in their notebooks for future reference. ✔ A TEACHER’S MANUAL providing an overview of the teaching philosophy behind Gap Fillers, teaching tips to help you make the most of this resource, and instructions for setting up Gap Fillers in both paper-based and paperless environments.
