What?!? Grammar can be fun? YES! I love to see the smiles as students discover that grammar study can be as exciting as solving a cool brain teaser or fitting together the pieces of a big puzzle. Grammar is fun because language is amazing!

Class Experience

This 12-week class provides a strong introductory overview (or a good, solid review) of basic grammar skills. As an ongoing class, students have the freedom to attend every class or choose to attend specific ones for topics that need extra practice.

In each class, we will discover how the words in our language fit together. We will learn to identify the parts of speech and the functions of individual words in a sentence. Through sentence diagramming and other interactive activities, students will begin to understand the underlying structure of language and gain the confidence they need to become better writers and communicators.

The course includes an overview of the eight parts of speech, the study of word functions (subject, predicate, direct object, etc), and a brief introduction to sentence diagramming. Sentence diagrams are a wonderfully interactive way to visualize how the parts of a sentence fit and work together.  Class time may include a variety of PowerPoint presentations, worksheets, collaborative classwork, puzzles, and games. 

If your learner is outside the ages of 8-12, but you believe they would benefit from the class, please reach out and let me know. Together we can decide if the class would be suitable.
