Description:
The word grammar has been known to come with connotations of dry, boring attention to details and rules. Its importance in a primary curriculum has been questioned for many years, and the answer has been disappointing (to grammar-loving folk anyway). Formal grammar teaching beyond “A noun is a naming word, a verb is a doing word…” has all but left the building, but Lyn Stone wants to bring it back in. In this presentation, Lyn will posit an argument that knowing what the parts of speech are really doing, why they’re put in their categories in the first place, and how to teach all that is an advantage to any teacher committed to raising the quality of writing instruction in the classroom. This session is appropriate for those working with students in Elementary through Middle School grades, as well as older struggling readers and spellers.
