Subjects and Verbs with Your Neighbors

by Kristen Rajczak

Overview

Just like countries, words can be at war with each other. It’s the writer’s job to sort out what form subjects, verbs, and other parts of speech must take to make a coherent sentence. Readers will learn many of the rules of subject-verb agreement, including those regarding compound subjects and helping verbs. The many examples use familiar situations to introduce the agreement concepts, while fact boxes highlight additional information. Vivid photographs will infuse the main content with color and fun to engage readers with knowledge supporting the common core English language standards.

Editorial Reviews

11/01/2013
Gr 2–5—These books introduce language concepts using common topics to clearly model them. Each spread contains an "On the Write Track" text box that gives more information or additional examples. For example, Sentences explains that, "An incomplete sentence is called a fragment." Conjunctions states that, "Dependent clauses act like a noun, adjective, or adverb in a sentence." On each spread, large, stock photos on the right page are relevant to the facts presented on the left. Diagrams and charts will help readers grasp the information. Children will be drawn to the clean layout and well-presented subject matter.
