US Grade 4 - 6
The Nose Tree is the first grammar level of 6 levels in IEW. After teaching my own children English grammar, I have found Fix It! Grammar to be the easiest and practical way for children to grasp the concepts of English. Students will learn: Week 1/: Nouns, indentation, editing, capitalization, title Week 2: Article adjective Week 3: Pronouns Week 4: Review/practice Week 5: Who/Which clause/dependent clause Week 6: Review/practice Week 7: Adjectives Week 8: Prepositions Week 9: Subject/Verb Pair, verbs Week 10: Linking Verbs Week 11: Helping Verb Week 12: Quotations Week 13: Coordinating Conjunctions Week 14: Adverbs Week 15: Review/practice The lesson are structured using 5 easy steps: 1. Learn it! 2. Read it! 3. Mark it! 4. Fix it! 5. Rewrite it! Each week we will learn the lesson first, read the sentence, mark in the sentence what the students learned, fix the sentence, then rewrite that sentence either in their books or in a notebook. Students will also learn vocabulary words each class that we will look up definitions and write in their book. Students will need to purchase the book: https://iew.com/schools/shop/products/fix-it%E2%84%A2-grammar-level-1-nose-tree-student-book In addition, student will need a dictionary or any means to help define vocabulary words learned in class. Student should be prepared in class with their Nose Tree book, pen or pencil, a notebook, dictionary (paper or digital), and a smile! I will use slides as well as the Zoom whiteboard in which students can help fix the sentences and identify parts of speech. Students may also read the sentences. When time allows, we will play grammar games to reinforce what was learned in class. In each class, I will do the the sentences with the students. If there is extra time, we will do more together in class. Otherwise, the rest of the sentences and defining vocabulary words will be for homework. This course is advised by IEW to begin in grade 3 at the earliest. It also great for beginning grammar students or students who need more help and reinforcement with grammar structure. If I do not have the minimum number of students signup, which is 4, I will cancel the section.
Learning Goals
Students will learn and improve on their understanding of grammar by utilizing literature and shorter but effective lessons.
Students will also improve on their handwriting skills as they rewrite the sentences that are fixed throughout the course.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Google slides will be used to share screen grammar concepts and terms during class.
Parents may need to help students use a dictionary to define words or correcting sentences. Students are also welcome to contact me for any help as well! :)
