Grammar practice in free, PDF short stories

Classroom Cereal is a series of free, PDF short stories that double as grammar exercises. Each story has five parts and each part has five grammatical mistakes for students to find as they read. Enjoy the story and find the errors. It's simple and nourishing, much like a certain grain-based breakfast food.

Five parts per story

Every story has five parts, each on its own PDF worksheet. Give students one part of the story to read each day of the week, Monday through Friday. The parts are short, about 200 words, so they work great as a quick warm up routine.

While they read, students hunt for the five grammatical mistakes scattered throughout each worksheet. Go over each part together and discuss what students found, or collect the worksheet as classwork or (gulp) homework.

Better writing
Classroom Cereal makes grammar practice quick and fun. Students become editors as they identify and correct the five grammatical errors in each story part. With daily proofreading, students become mindful of the little things needed for clean composition. Those little things start to show up in their own writing.
Closer reading
Reading Classroom Cereal is both fun and beneficial. First, students simply enjoy an amusing and accessible story, one piece at a time throughout the week. Second, readers form a close relationship with the text by engaging with it directly. Students physically mark up each story as they edit the errors. 
More engagement
Get ready to see hands in the air! Classroom Cereal engages even the most resistant readers because it gives them something concrete and objective to look for while reading. Students love to hunt for the errors and share what they've found. Plus, they get into the story throughout the week and the entire year.
