Where can I find a conceptual framework for grammar teaching strategies?

Question

I've scourged the books here and have not yet found a good one. Can you recommend a site (not book, okay) that holds a good conceptual framework for strategies in teaching grammar? Thanks!

Answer 1

I did a Yahoo search using "teaching strategies grammar":

http://pbskids.org/lions/cornerstones/pdf/strategies.pdf
http://www.nclrc.org/essentials/grammar/grindex.htm
http://www.ncte.org/collections/grammar/strategies
http://www.indiana.edu/~reading/ieo/bibs/gramele.html

Came up with TONS of stuff. Just a matter of weeding through.

One thing I would suggest is to visit your state's department of education website and your curriculum strands (by grade level) should be available. From there, I would look for strategies to match those requirements. Think about daily activities and literacy workstations that you could implement for student practice.
I know you probably don't want to buy another book but I use "Grammar with a Giggle". My kids have a blast, it's easy to implement, no worksheets. There are so many ways to manipulate these activities to meet the needs of your students at any given time. It's hard to explain but if you ever get a chance, take a look at it. I've used it since my first year of teaching.
NCTE has this info but you need to order it; I don't know why they do this to us.

Hope this helps,
Mon :-)

No, we opt for to coach young children the thanks to be grammatically ideal proper, by way of the indisputable fact that's an incredibly sensible existence potential to have (even even with the reality that its a kick interior the pants to study). Take this celebration: 2 aspiring business enterprise men are interviewed for the same promoting and marketing position in a highly prestigious promoting organization. between the interviewees has poor grammar, the different speaks very eloquently. Who receives the pastime? the single which speaks properly in all likelihood. similar factor may be made for math. Calculators can preform very almost all mathematical equations in recent times, yet we are nonetheless going to coach them addition, subtraction, multiplication, branch, and what no longer.

I assumed that you are teaching grammar to students supposed to be the users of English and not teaching them to be grammarians. I wont suggest you any books. All good grammar books are good for teacher to learn but not to teach. I won't suggest you any websites because they are doing the same way the books are doing. You don't need them both if what you want is a "conceptual framwork." What any users of English would want from learning grammar is to know how to put words together to make larger linguistic unit that make meaning and grammatical sense. I suggest that you begin with the "basic sentence structures." There are two kinds of structure. The structure said in terms of structure or in other words the syntactic structure. For example, a word or a combination of words of any kind may be working as a noun as a main part of the sentence. The other kind of structure is the structure in terms grammar. For example, the above-said noun-unit may be used as the subject, the direct object, indirect object, subject complement, or object complement. There are only 4 classes of the main part of the sentence in terms of syntactic structure and 9 functions in terms of grammar that makes infinite number of sentences. To learn the basic sentence structures is then very easy. However learning or studying them is not enough. You need to make your students acquire them. After that your students should learn the possible internal structures of those main parts of the sentence in both terms. To understand what I said in this limited time, I like you to see the growing internal structures of the subject in the following sample sentences.
He is a friend of mine. ("He" alone is the subject.)
The boy is a friend of mine.
The boy in white shirt is a friend of mine.
The boy in white shirt waving his hand to us is a friend of mine.
The boy in white shirt who is standing at the corner of the street waving his hand to us is a friend of mine.

Many groups of words are working as adjectives qualifying the word "boy." Find them out to understand what the said "internal structure" of the main part of the sentence is.

I hope you'll get something, the frame work.
