Readability Scores
The Flesch-Kincaid Readability scale was used to ensure that all stories are at the desired reading level. Readability scales are useful as long as one realizes
their limitations. Results are approximate guidelines only, with a minimum margin of error of (+ or –) 1.5 grade levels. In other words, a story measured at a
second grade readability level could easily be suitable for both first and third graders. Another limitation is that two different readability scales can be applied
to the same sample, yet yield widely varied results. In spite of the inexact nature of readability scales, we at Remedia use them because they measure word and
sentence length, both valid predictors of readability. They also help us provide vocabulary-controlled materials in order to meet the special education needs of
many of our valued clients. At the same time, we realize that these scales are not designed to measure every other factor affecting readability, such as sentence
structure or appeal to the reader. We are also aware of the variance in standards and expectations set for each grade level. What is first grade material in one
school may be second grade material in another. At Remedia, we strive to take all these factors into consideration as we develop and revise materials. We leave
the rest in your capable hands. Regarding readability, you—and your students—will be the final judge.
 To the teacher

Daily Language Quickies is a collection of 40 short review exercises designed

to provide practice and reinforcement of essential writing and editing skills. Each
exercise focuses on a select number of language skills, all of which are repeated
throughout the unit. In addition, the activities provide plenty of opportunities for
students to read and follow a variety of simple directions.
Utilizing these short exercises on a daily basis will allow you to make frequent
assessments of progress, as well as raise student awareness of areas in which they
need more practice. This daily focus on careful proofreading and editing will surely
help students become better writers and readers.
Each of the exercises may be easily expanded to include any area needing
additional practice. For example, you may want students to mark parts of speech
not specified in the directions. In other cases, you might ask students to also find
the predicate when only the subject is asked for, or the proper nouns when the
question asks for common nouns. Such adaptations allow for students to further
develop and hone their skills.
At the top of each activity page, you will find a place for students to fill in their
name, the date, and current time. This is useful as additional skill-practice. Students
will get extra practice writing these elements with correct capitalization and
punctuation.
Checking the responses as a group can add an additional opportunity for
reinforcement as students discuss and justify their choices.
The included answer key is intended as a guide and can be easily modified to
fit the needs of your language program. We have included examples of possible
answers, but in many cases, they are not meant to be considered the only
acceptable answer. We have given one version of how a sentence may be re-written
or one example of several acceptable antonyms or synonyms. An answer might
reflect only the simple subject or predicate in a sentence. You may want students to
identify the complete or compound subject or predicate.
To customize the answer key to fit your lesson plans, you may make a copy of
each page and fill it in with the answers you are looking for. As you go through this
process, you will see how flexible the activities are and how easily they can fit your
individual needs.
