    Great lens! I love the School House Rock stuff. They still connect with kids today like they did with me all of those years ago.

    This is a great lens with a lot of excellent info. I am currently homeschooling my 3 year old son. He started off with a bit of a speech delay and I have been researching all over the web and coming up with different techniques to help him and I must admit that his speech and vocab have improved dramatically. I love homeschool! One of my lens includes some of my techniques. Love your lens! Thank you for sharing

    Schoolhouse Rock was such a great show, even though I already knew my grammar and such, it was still entertaining to watch.

    Nice lens. I loved Schoolhouse Rock as a kid. :)

    This is the best and most comprehensive homeschool site I have been on for any subject.Thank you so much for your time and effort.BTW I have to agree with an earlier post about knowing the parts of speech so one can learn another language.I went to Spanish immersion school in Guatemala at age 49.I am sad to say what grammar I had learned as a kid did not stick and it made learning Spanish that much more difficult.I am happy to be re-learning grammar right along with my homeschooled daughter.P.S.Love the grammar rock videos!

    I love that you say "the more senses you can engage during the learning, the more retention" because that is so very, very true.

    Great lens! My daughter is 15 and I'm having her do "Easy Grammar". She really likes the it.

    I've been to your wonderful grammar page before, but came back today to leave a blessing! Featured on "The Best Homeschooling Lessons on Squidoo!"

    Hi! Great lens, I don't think that teaching grammar is old fashioned, I think is mandatory.
    So when I grand son used "calculator" to find out 3x4, I hide the calculator and I thought him multiplication... the same think with grammar... The basics are extremely important.
    Thanks for a useful lens

    I enjoyed reading your informative lens and it was sort of a refresher in the parts of speech for me. Though grammar can be dry and boring, I think it's important for effective communication. Lensrolled to my Common Grammatical Mistakes lens and blessed by a Squid Angel.

    Great lens and ideas! Don't forget you can use free certificate templates to reward your students for their successes!

    All of your lenses are so helpful! I haven't had the chance to read them all yet but I plan to as you really do have the most interesting collection of lenses that I have read. I don't homeschool but even with homework I can tell that your lenses are going to really help me.

    Wonderful ideas, Jimmie! How could I have forgotten about Schoolhouse Rock?! I'm going to play some of those for my daughter who is working on parts of speech right now. I just published a lens actually about using Mad LIbs to teach parts of speech, but I'm always on the lookout for new methods.

    I'll admit it, I hate grammar and hate teaching it. There, I admitted it. lol!! Obviously, as a home educator, I have to teach it. lol!!! This page has a lot of wonderful ideas for teaching a subject that is normally dry. Thank you! I've already printed out a couple of the poems to use with my 3rd grader. Great lens. Blessed by a Squid angel.

    Great lens. Nice to see somebody promote accuracy over apathy!

    Great lens. I added it on Homeschool Fun.

    Your lenses are wonderful. Wish I had learned more about grammar as a child. :)

    Another great lens Jimmie. I can certainly use some of your ideas here to spice up some of my classes for the younger ESL learners.

    Thank you so much for this wonderful lens! I specifically searched the Internet for free homeschool worksheets on the parts of speech and your lens was one of the top results. I have printed so many of these resources for my 10 year old who is still struggling with this. I believe some of it will help my older and younger children too. I have forwarded many of the links to my laptop and I will be mentioning this on my new homeschool blog. :o)

    This is good resource for writers too. Thanks :)

    Grammar matters so much. People do pick it up, but you need to understand the concepts. Jazz musicians need to know music extremely well before they can jam and people need to know grammar to write well.

    What a lovely lens! I so miss homeschooling. I love the rhymes and songs that help make learning grammar fun. A SquidAngel blessing for another quality lens!

    I've got to admire moms who homeschool, it takes a lot of knowledge and
    patience to pull it off.
  • seegreen Dec 16, 2008 @ 9:42 am | delete
    Love the poems! We use Mad Libs from time to time as well as formal grammar books.

    Another great resource. I have been looking for a way to teach grammar painlessly and here you have set out some great ideas and resources. Thanks as always!
  • marsha32 Dec 14, 2008 @ 1:44 pm | delete
    grammar used to be something Jasmine was great at, now she acts like she has no interest and acts like she doesn't understand. Great resources here. I hope you will go add this lens in the plexo list on my homeschool lens.
