Grammar Galaxy

Grammar Galaxy: Blue Star (Volume 5) is a complete language arts curriculum for elementary students (sixth graders or students who have completed Red Star or its equivalent). Short, comical stories teach concepts in a memorable way. Students discover the havoc that ensues when the evil Gremlin tampers with the English language. He has a bleak mood and sarcastic tone set for the month. Parallel writing structure is banned. The Onomatopoeia Union goes on strike and none of these words can be used.

The royal English children invite students to become fellow grammar guardians in order to save the galaxy from crises like these. Teachers or students read the text themselves. Vocabulary words are defined in the text. Discussion questions follow each lesson to check for understanding. Students then complete a corresponding mission in the mission manual that reinforces the concepts. Teachers provide as much help as necessary.

Grammar Galaxy: Blue Star, the fifth in a series of language arts texts for first to eighth graders, teaches: -literary concepts -vocabulary -spelling strategies -grammar -composition and speaking
