One of the essentials in learning to write well is learning the structure of sentences.
The teaching methods presented here were developed in the classroom
and used successfully with elementary age children.
They are offered free for your use.
You may run copies and duplicate the cards for your students.
Everything here is for non-profit duplication.
The cards for the students' use can be printed on card stock
and glued onto poster board for ease of manipulating.
The large poster cards were made by running copies on card stock,
mounting them on colored poster board, and laminating them.
Teaching the Lesson and Using the Cards
1.
Introduce each part of speech separately. Sing the songs with the children and let
them work the crossword puzzles. At the online puzzle site you will find other
formats for printing as well as answer keys. The online game at Quia will give
added opportunity for practice. Spend as much time as necessary for the children
to understand each concept.
2.
After the noun and verb have been introduced, the children can begin to work with
simple sentences such as "Dogs bark." The teacher writes the sentence on the
board. Each child will have a Ziploc bag containing the grammar cards. On the
desk he/she should put a noun card followed by a verb card with a divider card
placed vertically between the two cards to separate the subject and predicate.
A period will be put at the end.
This picture illustrates the sentence "The dog barks loudly".

3.
The teacher puts the large poster size cards on the chalk tray in the correct order
and each child checks his/her work.
4.
The teacher shows how to diagram the sentence and each student diagrams the
sentence on notebook paper as the teacher walks around and monitors the work.
The next sentence is diagrammed by the student before the teacher shows the
correct diagramming on the board.
5.
The student writes 5 sentences using what he/she has learned in the diagramming
lesson.Sentence Diagramming
Some teachers today view diagramming as "old school", but I know of no better
way to teach children the relationship between words in a sentence.
My second graders loved it!
There are several sites that teach sentence diagramming. A few are listed here.

Basic Winston Grammar, Supplemental Workbook & Answer Key
By Precious Memories Ed.
In The Winston Grammar Program learning is incremental, with each lesson building upon previously-learned materials. All lessons after the first, therefore contain some built-in review. Most lessons introduce a new concept stated as a focus on a particular part of speech; however, some lessons are entirely review work. The student workbook includes a pre-test, post-test, quizzes and 30 individual lessons. This workbook is set up exactly as the Basic Level workbook (Stock #24685), but the sentences are different. This book is intended for further practice after finishing the Basic Level workbook. Pages are perforated for easy removal. This package also includes an answer key.
