This class uses the IEW Grammar book, Frog Prince. It covers many grammar topics and can be found here: https://iew.com/shop/products/fix-it-grammar-frog-prince-or-just-deserts-student-book-3 This book covers an entire year of grammar concepts. 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. Students should have a basic knowledge of writing sentences and should know that sentences and names begin with a capital letter, and end with end marks. They should recognize that conversation is punctuated differently, but by no means need to know the rules. The IEW Grammar books are set up to practice grammar 5-10 minutes a day, for 4 days a week, for 33 weeks. We will cover "4 days", which equals 4 sentences, in EACH day of class. So in one week we will cover "5 weeks" of the 33 in this book. There are many other classes that cover all 33 weeks in one year-long class. Please understand that it does not make much sense to come into this class in the middle of the book. If your student is starting with Week 26, he/she should have already done some of Weeks 1-25 or at least understand the format of what we are doing. It is a continuous story from Week 1- 33. This is the end of the story! Before class, I will read aloud the previous weeks and send you the link so students can be reminded of the story before they finish up the book. I have separated the Fix It book into 5 "BOOT CAMPS" for a different approach. It would be very cohesive if your student takes all 6 classes! However, I know that sometimes you start a book and "just didn't finish." You can pick up with my boot camp wherever you left off. Perhaps you just want your student to try it out with an experienced teacher and then after a few weeks, you want to pick it up. Perhaps you need a faster pace because your child needs to catch up. Perhaps you just have a busy few weeks and need a break from grammar. This way, you just join for a 5 days at a time: Weeks 1-5, Weeks 6-10, Weeks 11-15, Weeks 16-20, Weeks 21-25, and Weeks 26-33 are all separate classes.
Learning Goals
Students will repeatedly practice all kinds of grammar rules and writing in the context of a coherent story.

UPDATE FOR SUMMER and FALL 2024: My video refers to the 2022-23 school year, but I'm still here! I am super happy to be starting my last year of law school. I will take the bar exam in July 2025.
FIX IT Grammar: In Fall 2024, I will teach all of Book 2 and 3, and the first half of 4 and 5. In spring 2025, I will teach the second half of 4 and 5.

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.Reviews
