Grammar Galaxy: Yellow Star: Mission Manual - Paperback

by Melanie Wilson (Author)

The Grammar Galaxy Yellow Star Mission Manual is the workbook that is part of a complete language arts curriculum for fourth to sixth graders. The Grammar Galaxy Yellow Star text (required and purchased separately) uses short, comical stories to teach concepts in a memorable way. Students discover the havoc that ensues when the evil Gremlin tampers with the English language. Metaphors are sworn to tell the truth for jury duty on planet Sentence and become reality. Hackers Prefix and Suffix confuse the galaxy's vocabulary. Everyone is using double negatives when the Buddy System on planet Vocabulary goes into effect. The royal English children invite students to become fellow grammar guardians in order to save the galaxy from crises like these. After students or teachers read one of the mysteries from the separate text, young guardians complete a corresponding mission with three short steps in this manual. The Grammar Galaxy Yellow Star Mission Manual is especially appropriate for readers at a fourth-grade level or those who have completed Grammar Galaxy Protostar. Missions for Advanced Guardians make it flexible enough to use with students through sixth grade. Grammar Galaxy Yellow Star, the third in a series of language arts texts for third to sixth graders, teaches: *literary concepts *vocabulary *spelling *grammar *composition and *speaking Grammar Galaxy Yellow Star is a great choice for homeschoolers, teachers, and parents: *Whose student can read and write at about a fourth-grade level *Who want their student to have excellent reading, writing, and speaking skills *Who want their student to spend less time doing seatwork and more time reading and writing for fun Homeschooling mother, Elizabeth, writes: You really did it. You truly made grammar fun. I didn't think it was possible but you obviously deserve some kind of medal! THANK YOU!
