Grammar Interactive Notebook Activities for Second Grade

This second grade grammar interactive notebook bundle makes it easy, effective, and engaging to teach grammar. These interactive notebooks combine traditional notes with interactive hands-on activities that require students to think deeply about grammar and make grammar fun!

Students love the manipulative nature of these activities and teachers love that they make assessment easy. Interactive notebooks are great for visual and kinesthetic learners and they are a great tool for differentiated instruction. They are aligned with the common core standards and make a great addition to your grammar instruction.

Interactive notebooks help students learn new skills because instead of passively copying down notes, they require students to interact with and think about the material which leads to deeper conceptual understanding.

Students LOVE making interactive notebooks and don’t even realize they are learning! They practice important grammar skills by inserting and moving around flaps, foldables, charts, etc. They love all of the different parts and multiple modalities. 

These notebooks are easy to use and don’t waste valuable class time. The cuts are simple and students follow the same routine throughout the year. There’s no unnecessary coloring. Students can quickly cut, glue, and go! It only takes 10 minutes to complete these activities.
