Fix it, polish it, make it shine
Grammar is the set of rules that makes writing clear. Young kids learn that a sentence is a complete thought that starts with a capital letter and ends with a punctuation mark. As they grow, they learn nouns, verbs, adjectives and pronouns, make subjects and verbs agree, and fix fragments and run-ons. By 3rd grade and up, kids edit their own writing for capitals, commas and spelling, and combine short sentences into stronger ones: Sam ran. Sam jumped. → Sam ran and jumped. The click is when kids start catching their own mistakes.
Grammar sticks when kids use it in real sentences. These are our go-to moves.
