Word Study Series 1 - 5

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

Alice Nine guides learning by asking questions and applying grammar systematicaly and explicitly to identify and fix fragment and run-on errors. Students apply the knowledge and skills of Grammar Boot Camp to sentences with an eye on using grammar to revise and edit sentences. Includes e-quizzes.
