Subject and Predicate Activities | 2nd Grade Grammar

Teaching students to identify subjects and predicates is easy with these engaging grammar activities! This 2nd grade grammar resource includes a week of subject and predicate activities, worksheets, PowerPoint lessons, task cards, and an assessment. Students learn to identify and subjects and predicates in sentences, when writing, and while reading them in context. This unit includes no prep, daily practice in a variety of formats, with ready to use lesson plans, all in one resource!

Designed for second grade, these activities can be used with higher ability first graders, and they make a great review or test prep for third graders. You may also find this resource useful for ESOL students.

Short on time to teach grammar? This simple 5-day routine allows you to teach, practice or assess your students in 15 minutes or less each day. The daily routine includes whole group practice as well as fun partner activities. The easy to grade subjects and predicates worksheet is ideal for reinforcement, morning work, or homework. An engaging reading passage gives students the opportunity to identify subjects and predicates in context. Students apply their learning in a writing activity with three different formats for easy differentiation. On Friday students are assessed with a short, easy to grade assessment.
