Grammar Galaxy Nova
is a complete language arts curriculum for middle schoolers or those who have mastered the concepts in
Grammar Galaxy Blue Star
. Short, comical stories teach concepts in a memorable way. Students discover the havoc that ensues when the evil Gremlin tampers with the English language. Greek mythology comes to life when it is relocated to Nonfiction Province. A word genealogy website publishes misinformation. Possessive nouns and pronouns are linked to violence in a phony documentary. The royal English children invite students to become fellow grammar guardians in order to save the galaxy from crises like these. Students read one of the mysteries. Vocabulary words are defined in the text. Discussion questions follow each lesson to check for understanding.
Grammar Galaxy Nova, the sixth in a series of language arts texts for first to eighth graders, teaches:
literary concepts
vocabulary
spelling strategies
grammar
writing and
public speaking
Nova is an excellent review for middle school students. The workbook, the
Grammar Galaxy Nova Mission Manual
(a separate purchase), enables guardians to complete important, enjoyable missions to reinforce the concepts. 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!
