A Better Way To Teach Grammar At A Glance

A Bit More About The Video Tutorials And Having A Grammar Coach

  • Each lesson comes with a video tutorial for you, the teacher, that teaches you the grammar concept (if you’re a little rusty on it), and teaches you how to teach the concept to the students using the materials provided. Each video is under 10 minutes, so your prep time is kept to a minimum.
  • Additionally, I want you to have an outstanding experience teaching grammar this year, so I am making myself and my team available to answer any grammar questions you have for an entire year. We will get back to you with an answer within 48 hours, but typically in less than 24 hours.

Will My Students Like It?

In every anchor lesson, I’ve used strategies to keep your students engaged and active.

  • Warm-up games that introduce the concept
  • Streamlined direct instruction, so students don’t “zone out”
  • References to musicians, movies, and pop culture in examples, that are customizable so you can change these to fit your students’ interests
  • Hand-selected mentor sentences that showcase the grammar concept
  • Interesting and fun photo and video prompts for students to practice their skills

Will The Concepts Stick?

  • As a classroom English teacher of 13 years, I created this method based on what worked with my own students. I saw more engagement than with any other method of grammar instruction, but I also saw my students use these concepts in the essays they turned in months after I taught a certain grammar concept.
  • The research supports my experience! When you integrate grammar instruction into other meaningful elements of your classroom, the concepts make more sense, and ultimately “stick.”

Don't Take Our Word for it...

“100% of my students enjoyed this method of grammar instruction more than the automated grammar program we had been using!”

"Where has this resource been my whole life?!"

MARY B. - ENGLISH TEACHER

My students and I LOVED these resources. The prompts were funny and engaging. Students also enjoyed watching the short films. These are the kinds of activities that make it easy to "trick" students into learning. I love the idea of model sentences. In order for students to write well, they need to see what strong writing looks like. Thank you!
