Is diagramming sentences a legal form of torture?

Diagramming sentences demonstrates how the parts of speech are related to each other in a sentence. Students who have learned to diagram sentences have a stronger ability to manipulate the parts of speech in order to develop complex and compound sentences.

Our grammar Clue Cards provide a visual guide which helps the developing writer grasp the structure and mold his or her words and punctuation accordingly.

Not convinced? See the examples in the Grammar Slammer Clue Cards. The visual diagram helps the student "see" what the different sentence parts are.

How do Clue Cards Help?

Unfortun

ately, some diagramming programs are complicated and expect students to memorize numerous rules for diagramming sentences. Or they give students the tedious chore of diagramming a set of sentences. (Hmm, can you think of anything you would rather do with your time?)

In contrast, the Big Bad Grammar Slammer presents the different sentence diagrams, and shows students how to use it by developing their own sentences.

How does it help the learner? He or she has a larger set of tools to develop a broader range of sentence types. This adds variety and sophistication to their writing.

Best of all, they soon start writing and punctuating more complex sentences without even realizing they are doing it.

If you have a solid grasp of sentence structure, you might not need anything else but the Clue Cards to teach and reinforce grammar.

Otherwise, you might find the The Big Bad Grammar Slammer to be the perfect grammar curriculum to gain confidence in writing complex and compound sentences. It has a ten minute tutorial for each of the grammar terms, reviewing all relevant usage in less than two months.
