What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. This is a purely educational concept book focused on grammar.
Ideal Reader
An elementary school student, ages 7-9, who is beginning to learn formal grammar and finds the textbook approach dry or confusing. It's also perfect for a linguistically curious 6-year-old who loves wordplay and asks questions about how language works. This book is for the child who appreciates beautiful art as much as clever words.
Parent Prep
No preparation is needed; this book can be read and enjoyed cold. The concepts are explained very clearly through context and rhyme. A parent may find it helpful to simply enjoy the art and language with their child, letting the learning happen naturally. The parent has just received a grammar worksheet from school and is looking for a more engaging way to teach the concept. Or, the parent overhears their child struggling with pronoun usage, for example, saying "Me and my friend are going outside" or repeatedly using names instead of pronouns in a story.
