Synopsis

This book overhauls teaching English grammar in elementary schools. Its author argues that the current emphasis on teaching grammar structures to prevent students from making mistakes and correct existing ones is ineffective. Instead, the author advocates for cultivating the habit of using correct grammar through ear training. By focusing on grammatical elements that can directly influence the correction of written and spoken errors—such as subject-verb agreement, pronoun-antecedent agreement, correct verb tense usage, and avoiding double comparatives—this book provides teachers with a simplified method to improve their students' grammar skills. Its insights offer a valuable perspective on the practical teaching of grammar to elementary students, with the ultimate goal of establishing sustainable habits of correct language use.
