US Grade 3 - 6

Beginner Level

------This class uses the updated fourth edition of The Nose Tree------

Fix-It! Grammar: The Nose Tree is a fun and engaging way to teach learners English grammar. Students go sentence by sentence in an ongoing story to label, identify, and hunt for grammar errors, fixing them along the way. Learners will rewrite the sentences correctly. Students will stay engaged in the process because the story is ongoing, and who doesn't want to find out how the story ends?

IEW recommends that all students begin with The Nose Tree, as it is the first level in a series of books that build upon one another. This course is ideal for beginning grammar students OR students who need extra practice and a refresher course. Third grade is the earliest recommended start time.

It would be helpful if students could annotate on their screens.

Class time will be spent teaching the new vocabulary, concepts, and directions and reading and correcting as many sentences as possible. Unfinished sentences will be assigned as homework. I will use slides and other resources to encourage interaction between the students and myself. Students may also volunteer to read sentences aloud.

Students will need their workbooks during class to identify and label the parts of the sentence as they go. Each week, the previous material is reviewed while new materials are presented.
