It’s so hard to believe that it’s already time for Back-to-school. I have been planning on my end for a few months now since we homeschool. It’s very important to me to be able to find products that compliment the curriculum we have chosen.
Recently we had the opportunity to check out the new Time book: Grammar Rules! This book is amazing! Grammar Rules! is packed with hilarious examples and fun visuals, including word games and mazes, to help youngsters ages 8 through 12 learn the ins and outs of grammar. This richly-designed resource begins with basics like spelling, commonly misused words, and tips to aid memory, then moves on to punctuation, parts of speech, and common grammatical mistakes. With my son, we won’t be covering the entire book, but I have already marked parts of this book that we will be referring to during some of our lessons throughout the year.
Grammar Rules! is divided into five sections that include:
- Parts of Speech: Words play different roles in a sentence. And parts of speech-like nouns, pronouns, verbs, and conjunctions-tell us what those roles are.
- Crafting an Expert Sentence: Sentences are the building blocks of language. We express our ideas through sentences when we speak and write.
- Use the Correct Word Every time: Your writing can be only as good as the words you use, and choosing the right words can be a challenge. This section will help you choose the right words and spell them correctly every time.
- Punctuation: Some punctuation rules are easy to remember, like whether to use a period or a question mark at the end of a sentence. Other punctuation rules can be confusing, like whether to use a comma in a sentence.
- Ready to Write: Writing is a way to share useful information. It’s also a way to communicate your thoughts and feeling. Do you want to know the secret to becoming a better writer? Write, write, and write some more! Begin a journal. Write long letters to friends and family members. Take lots of notes during class.
If anyone is looking to add on additional learning or if you child has a hard time with understand proper Grammar rules, then I highly recommend this book. Grammar Rules! can be purchase on Amazon and other stores Nationwide.
