Please know that your learner can jump in at any point to attend this class! This class will include engaging, interesting lessons so students will look forward to learning about English grammar. 

Our weekly topics with dates can be found in the outline below. We will include fun games and activities to better understand sometimes confusing topics.  Our goal is to improve English speaking and writing skills and well as learners' confidence! They will become better communicators in both written and spoken language!

The topics discussed in this class will be the most commonly taught concepts for United States grade 3. This correlates with ages 7-10 years. This class fits into the “Intermediate level or B1-B2” for Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).  

This class is not comprehensive, but will lay a solid foundation for future, continued learning! We will rotate through lessons, beginning with easier concepts, and gradually progress to more difficult ones. It is important to remember that all students learn at different paces! Please follow the topics and date outline below to determine the current topic and difficulty level we are studying together in class.

Students will be asked to keep a Grammar Notebook during this class which they will keep handwritten notes and possibly copies of handouts (provided by the teacher) with grammar rules. Please see the materials section of this class description for more details on this notebook. 

An important component to learning grammar, is listening to/hearing the English language in "real-life" usage! This is why, during  portions of this class, the instructor, Ms. Jackie, will sometimes read from a popular, age-appropriate novel. 

We will work through grammar tasks and activities together as a class, and will often participate in fun, grammar games! An environment of learning from mistakes will be created so all students feel comfortable sharing and answering questions. 

Prior experience speaking, reading, and writing the English language at a lower elementary level is required. This includes all topics learned in Kindergarten, first, and second grade levels. 

I am hoping your learner will join us to learn about the following topics!
