Recording of Donna Marcantonio: Living Language: A Patterned Approach & Strategies for Bringing Grammar and Syntax to Life Webinar
Presenter: Donna Marcantonio M.S. Ed.
Brain studies show that working with patterns builds comprehension and memory.
Teaching underlying patterns and relationships organizes fragmented information into meaningful, memorable parts and wholes. Though often omitted, taught as isolated skills and relegated to writing instruction, grammar and syntax are foundational for building vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension during reading instruction. This presentation shares ways to teach grammar and syntax that are meaningful, orderly, and engaging. It introduces hands-on manipulatives and use of colors and coding and weaves grammar and syntax into language instruction as an integrated whole. How we learn instructs (builds within) our avenues of thought. Language instruction shapes our minds, ideas and culture. Its effects are far-reaching. Whether you are a teacher, student, parent or student of life, you may find Living Language methods not only engaging and effective, but transformative for how we think, orient ourselves and relate.
