GRAM-Marvelous
Grammar is the system and structure of language.
In this two day workshop, Alice Nine shares an instructional approach that front-loads grammar with anchor lessons and charts, provides practice with simple learning routines, uses models from literature, and supports writing through the development of the sentence. Participants are engaged as both learners and teachers, experiencing numerous anchor lessons and learning routines first-hand.
Target grades 3 through 7
