As the year draws to a close, thank you for the countless ways you’ve nurtured your students’ voices, thinking, and confidence with the power of language. 

Your work, often unseen, truly matters, and it shapes how your students view the world and themselves long after they leave your classroom.

Wishing you a peaceful, restorative break filled with good books, cozy moments, and time away from the grading pile. 

May the new year bring you renewed energy, fresh inspiration, and classes that remind you why you chose this profession in the first place.

Warmest wishes for a joyful holiday season and a bright start to the new year.

I am including links to free resources I hope you can use to end this year or to start the new one.

Thanks for reading,
Charlene

Struggling with Teaching Sentence Structure? Help is Here.

Are your students finding it difficult to analyze English sentences? Whether they're just beginning to learn the language or studying a foreign language that requires a solid grasp of English grammar, understanding sentence structure is essential.

That’s where I come in.

With over 30 years of classroom experience and a lifelong passion for grammar, I’ve created a straightforward, engaging way to master the art of sentence construction. In my Simple Steps to Sentence Sense video series, I walk learners through eight clear, manageable steps to understanding sentence structure. 

Each video is paired with a practice exercise and an answer key, making it easy to learn and review at your own pace.

These videos are short and easy to understand. You can use them with students who enroll late in the year, with students who need tutoring, or you can play each video for your class, sit back, and let me explain each of the eight steps as an introduction to the actual unit from the Simple Steps to Sentence Sense eBooks and resources.

• How to Use SAM (Sentence Analysis Map)
• Step 1 - Prepositional Phrases
• Step 2 - The Verb
• Step 3 - the Subject
• Step 4A - Action Verb Complements
• Step 4L - Linking Verb Complements
• Step 5 - Adjectives and Adverbs
• Step 6 - Finding Phrases (verbals, and appositives)
• Step 7 - Finding Clauses (adjective, adverb, and noun)

This program is perfect for students, children, or grandchildren who need a little extra support—and confidence—in writing and grammar.

If you're looking for a practical, proven way to strengthen sentence skills, this just might be the gentle push they need to succeed.

These videos complement all of my grammar eBooks and resources. You can find all the Simple Steps to Sentence Sense resources here.

The first video in the series is free. If you want to check it out, click here.
