Checklist for Integrating Grammar and Syntax into Your Day

Grammar instruction is integrated throughout your day! We do not have a "grammar" or "syntax" time in our schedule. Whenever we teach grammar, it is always in service of syntax, understanding the structure of sentences and making meaning. This ultimately supports students’ proficiency in all areas, such as reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Here is a planning checklist to guide your decision making as you integrate explicit grammar instruction into your day.
