🎙️ Sentence-Level Grammar Instruction: The Key to Better Reading & Writing | Wisdom Wednesday Podcast

In this episode of Wisdom Wednesday, Leta Palmiter explores the powerful connection between sentence-level grammar instruction and literacy growth. Discover why teaching grammar explicitly and in context builds stronger readers and more confident writers—starting in kindergarten and extending through high school.

🧠 Referencing the work of William Van Cleave, Leta breaks down the myth that grammar is outdated or unnecessary. Instead, she explains how understanding syntax, sentence combining, and the function of words improves both comprehension and composition.
