Verbals Worksheets for 8th Grade

What your child practices

These 6 worksheets for 8th grade (Grade 8 in Canada) focus on Verbals, with 59 questions that build the skill step by step. Middle school writing is judged on clarity and precision, and practicing Verbals directly helps your child revise their own essays and reports. 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. The skill matches Common Core L.8.1a, the standard for using grammar correctly in writing and speaking. In Canada it matches the BC curriculum for Grade 8. Answer keys sit on page 2 of each PDF, so checking takes seconds. New to the idea? Watch the Verbals video lesson, then print a sheet while it is fresh.

Tips for parents

• Ask your child to spot the skill in their own recent writing and revise one paragraph.
• Turn a mistake into a mini lesson: fix it together and write one new example.
• Have your child find one example of Verbals in a book you are already reading together.
