This class uses the IEW Grammar book, Frog Prince. This class now uses the NEW book. You must have ordered the book after January 2022 to have the proper book. This is now Book 5, appropriate for late middle school and high school. https://iew.com/shop/products/fix-it%E2%84%A2-grammar-level-5-frog-prince-student-book In this class, students search for and correct grammar errors. I encourage 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. (If your student is already familiar with IEW and Fix It, they may not need or like my coloring system, which is fine. I think it helps kids "see" the different patterns, but they don't have to do it my way.) Students should have a firm grasp of Subject, Verb, Adverbs, Prepositional Phrases before starting this class. They should also be somewhat familiar with a "dependent clause" or a "wwwasiab" clause. 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 4 sentences, in EACH day of class. 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.
Learning Goals
Students will repeatedly practice all kinds of grammar rules and writing in the context of a coherent story.
