A story-based approach to grammar and writing for children! In this level, students review the four parts of speech previously learned, before introducing the next four. Exciting characters (and their correlating colors) are used to represent each part. Stories, songs, and activities bring the content to life, helping it to stick in the brain long term! (LOVE that Classical methodology!) Each lesson takes 30-60 minutes, but can be spread over several days (depending on age and attention span of student) with the goal of one lesson per week. Each lesson follows the same simple pattern: Read and Sing, Connect and Copy, Learn and Find, and Write and Share. Scripture verses and biblical traits are emphasized throughout. Grammar songs are set to familiar tunes such as Old McDonald, Ring Around the Rosie, etc. making them very easy to teach AND learn! (Warning: they’re catchy! Your whole family will be singing them!) The writing portion of each lesson offers flexibility and can be completed at 3 different levels: Beginning, Intermediate, and Advanced. This makes it possible to use the same level workbook with multiple ages, although the teacher needs some one-on-one time with each student to complete the writing activities. A student may also benefit from going through the workbook a second time around… the following year, gleaning a deeper layer of understanding. Teacher and student both use this same book, with answer key at the back. The back section also includes 9 coloring pages of the characters and their songs, allowing a hands-on way to reinforce the material. For additional coloring pages, purchase the Coloring Book (013940). 178 pgs, pb. ~Nancie
Grammar Castle's Workbook on the 8 Parts of Speech, 2nd and 3rd Grade with Teacher Key
Description
Why not learn grammar in a fun way!
Each part of speech is a character living in the Kingdom of Writing, so it is easy for students to remember them and their functions.
Come meet the Royal Family, the Describer Family, and the Grammar Friends that personify the 8 parts of the speech. Meet the good Knights of the Write Table -- Sir Sentence, Sir Punctuation, Sir Usage, and Sir Rhythm -- but avoid the bad Knights of the Wrong Table -- Sir Run-ons-a-lot, Sir Fragment, Sir Mismark, and Sir Wrong Words. They are troublemakers in Writing.
Also, to reinforce the mastery of the grammar songs, students will enjoy coloring the Songbook Color Pages in the back of the workbook. The Teacher's Key is included.
