While you're building upon previous skills, Miss Myrtle Turtle will help students to gain new grammar and writing concepts. Lessons start out with declarative, interrogative, exclamatory, and imperative sentences. Learn about capitalization of words, dividing words into syllables; simple subjects and predicates; the beginning steps to diagramming sentences; four verb forms; abbreviating states; and more. Students will learn how to use a dictionary and an encyclopedia, indicating book titles, and more. In writing, students will learn how to make writing more interesting and varied, write stories about drawings, write a business letter, “Imagine you were a Negro slave," and write a book report. ~ Ruth
