Episode 304: Why Great Grammar Doesn't Guarantee Great Writers


Listen Later

Grammar is certainly important, but it doesn't guarantee a good writer. Why? This week, Andrew and Julie address the question. Andrew will tell you that grammar is most effective for better writing when taught in the right context and at the right time. Tune in to learn about the value of incorporating grammar instruction within writing assignments, and gain insight on when is a good time to begin teaching grammar. Andrew and Julie will also touch on how Fix It!™ Grammar fits into our methodology.
