Small pictures next to the sentences; key on page 2. It fits second grade grammar, ages 7 to 8, with the rule printed at the top when there is one to remember.

Tips for using it

Do one grammar sheet at a time and read the instructions aloud together; the rule usually fits in one sentence.
Ask children to say each sentence out loud before they write: most grammar mistakes sound wrong when spoken.
Use the answer key to let older kids check their own work with a colored pencil.
Mix one picture sheet with one writing sheet per week so grammar does not feel like a test.
