This is the best way to learn grammar!  Students find and correct mistakes in this ongoing, fun story.   This class begins with Week 1 in the IEW Grammar book, Mowgli and Shere Khan.  It can be found here:

https://iew.com/shop/products/fix-it%E2%84%A2-grammar-level-4-mowgli-and-shere-khan-student-book

This is Book 4 and is appropriate for middle school.  This class covers 16 "weeks" of Mowgli, but since we meet twice a week, we meet for 16 sessions in 8 weeks. 

The IEW Grammar books are set up to practice grammar 5-10 minutes a day, for 4 days a week, for 30 weeks.  We will cover "4 days," which equals one week, in EACH day of class. 

Weeks 1-2 - begins with all kinds of nouns and pronouns
Weeks 3-10- adds in verbs, conjunctions, adjectives, commas
Week 12 - adds in who/which/that clauses
All the Sentence Openers are introduced by Week 13. 
Weeks 13-15 capitals, prepositional phrases, main clauses, adverb clause, adjectives
Once a concept is introduced, it is put into practice on subsequent weeks.  

This book builds on concepts taught in previous levels and presents a thorough explanation of additional punctuation rules, essential/nonessential clauses, complex sentence patterns, transitional prepositional openers, and more.

Students search for and correct grammar errors.  I guide and correct as we go along, and add a unique coloring system to help them see different parts of speech.  I am very encouraging and many students tell me they enjoy the challenge of searching for errors and improving each day.  Students should have a basic knowledge of parts of sentences.  This class quickly moves to finding Subjects and Verbs, complex sentences, and different kinds of clauses. 
 

I agree with IEW that your student should take the time to rewrite each week after class.  This may take an additional 10-30 minutes.  I will not be checking this but I do recommend it.  

I do teach all levels of IEW grammar in many ways!  Contact me if you don't see the class you need.

Learning Goals

Students will learn to apply grammar rules in the context of a story.  By analyzing the parts of sentences, their own writing will improve.

UPDATE FOR SPRING 2025: It's been almost three years since I made that video in fall of 2022. I started law school, and now I graduate in May 2025 and will take the bar exam this summer. 

I really like teaching here, and I will probably be back in late summer or fall of 2025.  However, I know many of my people will have found new writing teachers!  I will probably plan some kind of government/history/civics class here, eventually.  

I'll stop by for messages here once in a while.  Students can't message me if they are not in an active class, but parents will still be able to message me if you have questions about writing.  I'll be back in some way in the fall 2025! 

_________

I help children overcome their fear of failure, and I coach strong writers to continued excellence.  Once children grasp specific writing concepts, they can apply their skills to all content areas.  Mostly, I use the writing methods taught by the Institute for Excellence in Writing. 

My youngest daughter is dyslexic and in my search to help her organize and communicate her thoughts, I discovered the writing methods of IEW.   Over the last 17 years, I have studied and taught these writing methods at my kitchen table, in homeschool co-ops, and in private tutoring.  Most recently, I taught IEW for seven years to middle schoolers at a public charter school in Southern California.  I am currently a Registered Instructor with IEW. 

I graduated from the University of Maryland with an Elementary Education degree, but I've learned  way more from my own kids and hundreds of others than I ever learned in a college classroom. 

Having taught on two coasts, in public, private, charter, and homeschool co-ops, I have a breadth of experience.  

My classes are "pretty fun for a writing class," my students report, but they don't feel like recess. Students will practice significant writing, grammar, organizing, outlining, and speaking skills in my classes.  If your child needs support, recovery, or challenge, check out my classes.
