About

Mid-century modern may work for furniture, but not for grammar learning—there is a better way! This PD webinar will explore an irresistible approach to grammar study and language standards so that grammar takes its rightful place in Grades 2-8 literacy instruction. Participants will reenvision grammar learning through curious, joyful grammar study. Because when we invite students to let curiosity lead the way, in small snippets of time, writers will develop grammar know-how.

Participants will discover:

  • A structure for approaching grammar as a unit of study
  • Lessons for teaching grammar that are inquiry-based and engaging
  • Tools to support grammar transfer into writing
