Summer Grammar Camp

Description: This is a five-week class intended to shore up students’ grammar, punctuation, and general writing. This will be especially helpful for students who need some work in grammar prior to taking the Fable/Narrative course or High School Composition I (taken by many 8th graders). In our experience most students who are taking composition benefit from this class. Students will be taught a comprehensive grammar lesson, with plenty of examples, practice, as well as real-time writing practice.

Grade Level: 6+

Workload: Students can expect an incremental bit of work each day (30 minutes) and in-class grammar and writing exercises.

Required Materials: Fix It! Grammar: Town Mouse and Country Mouse, Student Book. There is a free download of the Student Guide included with the purchase of the Teacher Book. Please note: If you have the Teacher Book, parents should retain this and not allow the student access unless checking their work. Many find it helpful to have the Teacher Guide for outside of class. Students will need a headset microphone (built-in microphones will also work).
