About The Prepositional Approach
Let me assure you that Easy Grammar is as the name implies---EASY! Both teachers and parents have shared that, in teaching the easily presented concepts found in Easy Grammar materials, they, too, have learned!
The Easy Grammar method uses a unique approach. Students memorize and learn prepositions first. Why? Most of the time, a prepositional phrase will not be the subject of a sentence. It will never be a verb. Therefore, students are taught to identify prepositional phrases to help determine subject and verb. It's so easy!
Usually, a prepositional phrase will not be a direct object, a predicate nominative, or anything important. The Easy Grammar method simplifies the teaching and learning of the English language.
In using this process, students are actively engaged in learning. They love the "hands on" manner, and the process makes them successful.
This approach is used periodically throughout the text in order for students to understand other concepts such as direct objects, subject/verb agreement, etc.
Another important difference in Easy Grammar is that concepts are introduced and reviewed throughout the school year. In addition, reviews and cumulative reviews are provided along the way to help insure mastery learning.
