This is the best way to learn grammar! Students find and correct mistakes in this ongoing, fun story. This class begins with Week 1 in the IEW Grammar book, Mowgli and Shere Khan. It can be found here: https://iew.com/shop/products/fix-it%E2%84%A2-grammar-level-4-mowgli-and-shere-khan-student-book This is Book 4 and is appropriate for middle school. This class covers 16 "weeks" of Mowgli, but since we meet twice a week, we meet for 16 sessions in 8 weeks. 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 one week, in EACH day of class. Weeks 1-2 - begins with all kinds of nouns and pronouns Weeks 3-10- adds in verbs, conjunctions, adjectives, commas Week 12 - adds in who/which/that clauses All the Sentence Openers are introduced by Week 13. Weeks 13-15 capitals, prepositional phrases, main clauses, adverb clause, adjectives Once a concept is introduced, it is put into practice on subsequent weeks. This book builds on concepts taught in previous levels and presents a thorough explanation of additional punctuation rules, essential/nonessential clauses, complex sentence patterns, transitional prepositional openers, and more. Students search for and correct grammar errors. I guide 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 parts of sentences. This class quickly moves to finding Subjects and Verbs, complex sentences, and different kinds of clauses. 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. I do teach all levels of IEW grammar in many ways! Contact me if you don't see the class you need. https://outschool.com/classes/writing-about-animals-repetitively-iew-level-b-H3F9pXpk?refuid=xPqAuK2O

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.
WRITING: For fall 2024, my semester-long classes will use the Modern World History-Based Writing Lessons book from IEW. https://iew.com/modern-world-history-based-writing-lessons-student-book-only
If you want to see if we are a good fit before committing to a long class, drop in on one of my ongoing Friday classes!
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.
