Here is just a quick copy and paste of [b]part[/b] of the writing indicators under [b]one[/b] unit. You will see grammar is covered:

Organize writing in a logical sequence around a central idea.
Elaborate writing.
Use subject-verb agreement (singular nouns with singular verbs; plural nouns with plural verbs).
Appropriately identify and use subjects and predicates.
Appropriately identify and use nouns and verbs.
Use past and present tense appropriately in writing.
Correctly identify prepositions.
Use prepositional phrases appropriately.
Edit for apostrophes in contractions and in singular and plural possessives.
Appropriately identify adjectives and adverbs.
Use adjectives and adverbs (use adverbs instead of adjectives where appropriate, e.g., “He played really well” instead of “He played real well.”
Use the correct spelling of frequently used words, including common homonyms/homophones, (e.g., threw/through).
Apply spelling generalizations.
Apply knowledge of letter sound relationships, word patterns.
Use a rubric to self-assess writing.
Use technology, including the Internet, to produce, edit, and publish writing as well as to interact and collaborate with others.
Formulate research questions based on topic.
Select and use appropriate references (e.g., atlases, almanacs, encyclopedias), including electronic resources.[/quote]
