amazon grammar Intro I'm worried that some Year 6 teachers are a bit anxious about the forthcoming grammar test. Part of this worry is that they themselves received little or no education in grammar and as a consequence feel harassed by what's coming. Grammar involves several different ways of describing language. The a) approach looks at separate parts (the links of a chain) and tries to find names for each kind of link. The b) approach tries to describe how and why one kind of link fits together with another link. Now hold in your head something that will be useful later: the a) approach can be described as 'vertical' because you can take one link out (vertically) and replace it with another. Now let's suppose that there are some strange things about this chain. (In the background, if you listen carefully, you can hear people called linguists arguing about some of these colours. Now, let's look closely at how the coloured links hook up. The Links (or the parts of the chain) go, goes, going, gone.

The Teacher Organizer What Is A Sentence? In simple terms, a sentence is a set of words that contain: a subject (what the sentence is about, the topic of the sentence) a predicate (what is said about the subject) Look at this simple example: The above example sentence is very short. Of course, a sentence can be longer and more complicated, but basically there is always a subject and a predicate. Look at this longer example: Note that the predicate always contains a verb. So we can say that a sentence must contain at least a subject and verb. There is one apparent exception to this – the imperative. Note that a sentence expresses a complete thought. Note also that a sentence begins with a capital letter and ends with a full stop* or a question mark or an exclamation mark. Actually, it is not easy to define a sentence. * British English = full stop | American English = period

How To Google Search By Reading Level Digital media have changed almost everything about reading—from multimodal complexity and the fluid nature of text, to the role of social media and–perhaps most importantly–how we find the information we’re looking for. As we shift from a culture that passively receives newspapers and magazines and piece-meal selects books form bookshelves, to one that actively sets-up personalized reading lists through RSS feeds and Google Reader, and sifts not through hundreds of books on shelf, but from millions of books, journals, blog posts, and video transcriptions, the mechanisms for search must adapt as well. The most overarching need is likely personalization—to empower people with the ability find what they’re looking for in lieu of what might be the most popular results. And with minor changes that aren’t always immediately obvious, Google is responding. Digital Literacy & Google Search Or, put simply, read and understand. Which is where “Google search by reading level” comes in. 1. 2. 3. 4.
