It opens with a guided Learn and Practice page, moves on to a practice sheet and a review test, then finishes with two quick quizzes and a mixed review. It is aligned to Common Core L.8.2b, which focuses on capital letters, punctuation and spelling. In Canada it matches the BC curriculum for Grade 6.

Tips for parents

• Ask your child to spot the skill in their own recent writing and revise one paragraph.
• Have your child find one example of Ellipsis and Parentheses in a book you are already reading together.
• Work one sheet a day and check it straight away with the answer key on page 2.
