Synopsis

Get to know the eight parts of speech with character-based instruction, engaging practice worksheets, dynamic writing prompts and exercises, and quizzes to check comprehension. Based on the revolutionary Grammaropolis approach, this skill-building workbook for second grade makes learning grammar fun!

In Grammaropolis, adverbs don't just modify verbs; adverbs are bossy. They tell the verbs where to go, when to leave, and how to get there. A pronoun doesn't just replace a noun; Roger the pronoun is a shady character who's always trying to trick Nelson the noun into giving up his spot. Grammaropolis personifies the parts of speech based on the roles they play in the sentence, increasing both engagement and retention.

Our story-based approach combines traditional instruction with original narrative content, appealing to different learning styles and encouraging students to make a deeper connection with the eight parts of speech: nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, conjunctions, prepositions, and interjections.

Aligned to Common Core and state standards.
