It's book three of the <i>Meet the Parts of Speech</i> series, in which the eight parts of speech are personified based on the roles they play in the sentence. </b> <p/> When Jake's nemesis pulls a prank and turns Grammaropolis into a grey, misshapen, tasteless town, Jake is forced to run around restoring everything--the colors, shapes, sizes, tastes, and more--to the way it was all meant to be. Clear and informative back matter includes textbook-style definitions and examples of adjectives modifying nouns and pronouns along with comparative and superlative adjectives. <p/> In Grammaropolis, adverbs don't just modify verbs; adverbs are <i>bossy</i>. They tell the verbs <b>where</b> to go, <b>when</b> to leave, and <b>how</b> 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. The <i>Meet the Parts of Speech</i> series uses the mechanics of character and story (plot, motivation, setting, etc.) to breathe life into what has traditionally been unengaging subject matter. <p/> Our story-based approach combines traditional instruction with original narrative content, which appeals to different learning styles, increases both engagement and retention, and encourages students to make a deeper connection with the parts of speech and punctuation marks.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>The linguistic insights are pure gold. - WIRED Magazine</p> <p>Learning grammar has never been so much fun. - School Library Journal</p> <p>A fun, interactive tool used to enrich learning that our 6th grade students and staff really enjoy! - Michelle Keneck, Middle School Instructional Coach; Lake in the Hills, IL</p> <p>Thanks for creating a fun way to learn grammar.
