A great resource for Intervention!
I like the set-up, but I have to go in and change several things b/c the exercises don't require the students to do what is required of the actual Common Core standard. Ex, students do know figurative language. The Daily Language wants the students to find the origin, meaning & write a sentence. The origin is not part of the standard. I feel it's better for the students to determine the meaning using context clues (instead of just looking it up), then write their own sentence. Instead, I give them a sentence using the idiom. Then they must determine, the meaning using the context clues I've provided in the sentence. Then they must write their own sentence using the idiom. I do the same thing for the proverb/adage on the Wednesday section.
The prefix section- I change it around & have the students to identify the prefix. Determine the meaning of the prefix, then then the meaning of the word. I do understand that when creating this product, it's created to serve teachers all over that may have different standard that they must follow. I'd like to send examples of how I tweak the Daily Language.
Hello. Thank you for taking the time to leave such detailed feedback. While the origin is not part of the standard, students find this information very interesting and knowing the origin does help students retain the meaning. I will also add that the act of finding the origin is a common core standard: "Consult reference materials (e.g., dictionaries, glossaries, thesauruses), both print and digital, to find the pronunciation and determine or clarify the precise meaning of key words and phrases." I am happy to hear that you have been able to adapt this resource to meet your teaching needs, though.
Kind of high expectations before reading -- concepts are challenging for many younger students with nothing concrete from which to build references. With the right group, it would be great.
great resource
Very clear. My only suggestion would be more text structures and lines in the boxes.

does this pull directly from the week's questions or are they new questions?
Hello! I can no longer use the pens on my Smartboard with this product. It says the editor has turned off commenting. I have other products of yours that also will not let me write on them anymore, like the 8th Grade Daily Language bell ringer. Can you resend the files with commenting allowed so that we can write on them? Thank you!
Hmmm. That's odd since I have never changed the PDF permissions. I tried to reset the permissions to explicitly allow for commenting. Please let me know if this doesn't resolve the issue.
Is there an answer key provided for these?
Do you have the Google form version of the 8th grade weekly language assessments?
Is there a bundle with this and the spiral review?
Unfortunately, TpT doesn't have a function that allows us to easily create custom bundles in a way that ensures customers always have the latest version of their resources, so we don't offer this option on TpT. We do have a Build Your Own Bundle option on our off-site store that you can check out here: https://teacherthrive.com/byob/
The preview shows your 6th Grade assessment. Do you have a preview of your 8th grade assessment? Thanks!
We're sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you so much for pointing this out! We have fixed the preview to reflect the 8th Grade version.
Doing this as a weekly assessment each Friday, how much time should you give students to complete this in class? Would 20 minutes be too much time?
Hello! The first few weeks can take a bit of time since you are walking students through the different problems. However, they catch on very quickly, and then it should only take about 10 minutes.
Does this packet include the answers like the Daily Language review?
Hello! Yes, answer keys are included.
I would pay good money for an 8th grade Google Classroom ready version!
