good tree montessori homeschool

i loved english in school.
when we were diagramming sentences in english class
i used to feel like
there was only the teacher and i in the classroom.
maybe figuratively that was the case,
but will i have the finesse to teach it?

ruth heller’s world of language series
is a great way to introduce grammar
without formally teaching it,
at least at first.

she covers it all:

nouns,

collective nouns,

pronouns,

verbs,

adverbs,

adjectives,

prepositions,

interjections and conjunctions,

after you’ve read the books together
the child will have some familiarity,
and you will have a refresher course
as well as examples at-the-ready
for when the child shows interest and ability.

the montessori method has a great language curriculum
which includes grammar

(above: grammar symbols from alison’s montessori)
but a good book just adds to the breadth.

enjoy…cause i can’t wait!
i’ve already got “merry-go-round: a book about nouns” on hold at the library.
