I love this! There are so many neat books to teach students about different parts of speech! Also, I love that it shows us that we can make our bulletin boards into an anchor chart for our classroom! So neat!
Glad you found it helpful!
Scrolling through these story books for teaching grammar, I love the book choices that you have provided. I’ve seen most of these and have heard of other teacher’s using these books as well. I would love to get my hands on some hard copies to use in my future classroom, especially when it comes to teaching grammar to my students.
Wonderful!
