What is another name I could call a "cheatsheet"?

[Janie]

I am going to make a card for my sixth graders to use for a while as they learn grammar. Some seem to have an awful time remember linking verbs, state of being verbs, and helping verbs.

So I think a cheatsheet is in order. I'll make a half sheet on cardstock with all kinds of other grammar helps/rules that they can use for daily exercises but cannot use for tests. I just dislike calling it a cheatsheet for sixth graders; highschoolers, yes, but not sixth graders.

Any ideas? Thanks!

(hee hee) No, really - when students take the Fundamentals of Engineering exam around here (for licensing purposes) they are no longer permitted to bring in any book they wish. They are handed a handbook to use. It's called The FE-Supplied Reference Handbook.

So how about Grammar Reference Sheet? (pretty boring for all that, wasn't is?)

We do something similar for Latin, but we've progressed from me writing out the sheet and handing it to the kids, or looking at the posters on the wall to the kids writing it out from memory at the start of a lesson. I'll have them write out examples of 1st, 2nd declension, 1st, 2nd conjugation, and imperfect/future tense endings. They're making their own "cheatsheet" without cheating!
