LET THE AUTHORS DO THE TEACHING! |
"Love Grammardog! It uses a great selection of widely taught literature pieces to integrate or bolster grammar instruction. Using keystone texts as examples really helps students connect to texts from an author’s craft perspective. I love using them as warm-up exercises,
test reviews, or tickets-out-the-door."
- Jennifer O.

"When I tried out the quizzes on students in the fall, the results were amazing. After taking tests on three titles, they GOT IT. The format was instructive. Students started to recognize alliteration, sensory imagery and metaphors as they read the books. The grammar quizzes improved their writing."
