- My students thoroughly review parts of speech using real simple sentences and continuing to complicated compound / complex sentences.
- My older students review the type of errors tested on the SAT, using progressively more difficult grammar.
Grammar Instruction:
Grammar problems are often uncovered when a child writes. Using his own writing to point out and fix problems is usually more effective than worksheets. Common grammar problems I see are run-on sentences, subject-verb agreement, pronoun-antecedent agreement, using the wrong form of the pronoun, spelling possessive nouns and pronouns, forgetting the “s” on plurals and improper use of articles.
I have developed many worksheets on grammar, plus I can offer websites and workbooks for parents who want that kind of structure.
