Grammar Resource

In speaking to many of our 5-316 parents, it seems grammar is a concern. I thought I would pass on some information on a podcast that I just love. It's Grammar Girl's Quick & Dirty Tips for Better Writing! Though it is not necessarily geared towards 5th graders, episodes, which focus on a single grammar convention usually chosen by viewer emails, are very clear and backed by easy to follow examples. They may be a great resource for you and your child. Take a moment to look at the many 6-8 minute episodes available free on her website or subscribe to the free podcast through iTunes! Again, to reiterate: some episodes are clearly for advanced "grammartarians", but there are plenty that'd be appropriate for your child. 


Of course, if the word "podcast" makes no sense to you, feel free to email us for a explanation!
