Alice Nine teaches spelling by enabling students to develop strong encoding (sounding out words to spell/write) and decoding (sounding out words to read) skills simultaneously.
Grammar Boot Camp 1 & 2
Camp 1 – All about Parts of Speech (20 Lessons) Students create a personal interactive Grammar Notebook, step-by-step, as Alice Nine introduces each part of speech, examining definitions and properties in depth. Includes e-quizzes.
Camp 2 – All about Sentences (24 Lessons) Alice Nine introduces sentence elements (i.e., subjects, predicates, phrases, clauses, predicate complements), types of sentences (i.e., declarative, interrogative, compound, complex), and punctuation. Includes e-quizzes. A full-color copy of Grammar Graphics, used by students to create the notebook, is available in the shop.
Sentence Studies 101
