Fix-It in Discovery Education

A perfect Grammar Fix (-it)!


Discovery Education has recently shared Daily Fix-Its.  What’s a fix-it?  It is a ready-made

activity that you can project and have your students correct the sentences.  

Karen Bryan has been using it in her class and shared this feedback:

I love using the Discovery Education Fix-It feature as an activity during our morning

meeting. I also use it as a warm-up activity with my Literacy Academy class. The students

enjoy it too!


Fix-Its come in two grade-level bands:

  • K-2 Fix-Its are seasonally themed (i.e.winter, apples) and contain some information

and two sentences with only one grammar error.  The same skill (i.e., end punctuation)
is taught through the entire slide set of 15 slides). Here is a sample sentence:
Earth tilts away from the sun in winter  (this is from the punctuation unit).
  • Daily Fix-Its (Grade 3-5) are themed to “this day in history” topic and are monthly.

Here is an example: how tall was the wave leo asked dr martin

How could this help your students?
