Synopsis

Grammar Galaxy Protostar is a complete language arts curriculum for readers at a 4th-grade level or those who have mastered the concepts in Grammar Galaxy Protostar. Short, comical stories teach concepts in a memorable way. Students discover the havoc that ensues when the evil Gremlin tampers with the English language. Metaphors are sworn to tell the truth for jury duty on planet Sentence and become reality. Hackers Prefix and Suffix confuse the galaxy's vocabulary. Everyone is using double negatives when the Buddy System on planet Vocabulary goes into effect. The royal English children invite students to become fellow grammar guardians in order to save the galaxy from crises like these. Students or teachers read one of the mysteries. Vocabulary words are defined in the text. Discussion questions follow each lesson to check for understanding. Grammar Galaxy Yellow Star, the third in a series of language arts texts for fourth to sixth graders, teaches: *literary concepts *vocabulary *spelling *grammar *composition and *speaking Grammar Galaxy Yellow Star is a great choice for homeschoolers, teachers, and parents: *Whose student can read and write at about a fourth-grade level *Who want their student to have excellent reading, writing, and speaking skills *Who want their student to spend less time doing seatwork and more time reading and writing for fun The workbook, the Grammar Galaxy Yellow Star Mission Manual (a separate purchase), enables guardians to complete important, enjoyable missions to reinforce the concepts. Homeschooling mother, Elizabeth, writes: You really did it. You truly made grammar fun. I didn't think it was possible but you obviously deserve some kind of medal! THANK YOU!

About this title

About the Author

Dr. Melanie Wilson was a clinical psychologist working in a Christian practice, a college instructor, freelance writer, and public speaker before she felt called to stay home and educate her children. She is a mother of six and has homeschooled for 19 years. She says it’s her most fulfilling vocation. Melanie has always been passionate about language arts and used bits and pieces of different curriculum and approaches to teach her children and friends’ children. In 2014, she believed she had another calling to write the curriculum she had always wanted as a homeschooling mom — one that didn’t take a lot of time, made concepts simple and memorable, and was enough fun to keep her kids motivated. Books have been a family business since the beginning. Melanie’s husband Mark has been selling library books for 30 years. Melanie and the older kids frequently pitch in to help at the annual librarians’ conference. Grammar Galaxy is another family business that she hopes will be a great learning opportunity for their children. When Melanie isn’t busy homeschooling, visiting her oldest sons in college, or writing, she loves to play tennis with family and friends. Melanie is also the author of The Organized Homeschool Life book and planners and So You’re Not Wonder Woman. She is the host of The Homeschool Sanity Show podcast and the author of the blog, Psychowith6.com.
