Grrrrrrrrrrrammar!!!!!!!!
Don't
growl over grammar.
Try
our new approach and both you and your students will be smiling! Do your
students think that grammar class is torture? Can they tell a pronoun
from a preposition, an indirect object from a direct object? Do they forget
grammar rules as soon as they learn them? And even if they remember, can
they apply them? Stevenson's Essential Grammar is a different method which
uses mnemonic clues to improve memory and draw on the strengths of the
right side of the brain. We have used our years of experience solving
the toughest educational problems to simplify the teaching of grammar.
You no longer need to listen to half your class groan in confusion while
the others groan in boredom. Everyone will enjoy the lessons and those
who usually lag behind will shine.
Stevenson Students will:
REMEMBER
- We make the abstract concrete. We use special techniques (mnemonics)
so students do not have to memorize strange technical terms by rote.
They will know grammar a year later as well as the week they learned
it.
MASTER - The teaching of
all skills is thoroughly integrated. One skill lays the foundation
for the next and is then reinforced by it. If the directives are followed
in sequence, mastery is assured.
APPLY
- Our pupils learn a method, not isolated facts. They can identify
mistakes and correct them. They compose grammatically accurate sentences.
They learn to write!! |
BEGINNING GRAMMAR STUDENTS
- Students in grades 4 through 7 will gain a firm grasp of fundamentals.
Most students will cover the material in one school year or less. Gifted
older students will be able to finish it in a semester. Learning disabled
students may need more than a year, but less than two, and they will succeed
with mastery.
REMEDIAL STUDENTS - Many students in grades 7 through 12 have been
taught basic grammar, but they either forgot it quickly or were unable
to handle it. These students will succeed by spending approximately one
year in
STEVENSON'S
ESSENTIAL GRAMMAR. Severely Learning Disabled pupils may require more
time with the material.
