Book Overview
NCTE's Assembly for the Teaching of English Grammar provides this much-needed resource for K-college teachers who wonder what to do about grammar--how to teach it, how to apply it, how to learn what they themselves were never taught. Grammar Alive offers teachers ways to negotiate the often conflicting goals of testing, confident writing, the culturally inclusive classroom, and the teaching of Standard English while also honoring other varieties of English. This hands-on approach to grammar in the classroom includes numerous examples and practical vignettes describing real teachers' real classroom experiences with specific grammar lessons--including ESL issues--as well as a review of grammar basics.

Recommended for grammar geeks!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book came highly recommended by her majesty, the Queen of Grammar, Constance Weaver. I purchased it and found some of it useful in my research regarding grammar instruction. Still, I think it's worth the read for language arts arts teachers. It's an easy read and was produced by the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) to help demystify the grammar stigma in the language arts classrooms.
Grammar made accessible

While this book will not solve the problems of those seeking absolute expertise regarding the intricacies of grammar, it does offer valuable insights on teaching this difficult subject. Many lessons build on common sense knowledge that all teachers(and students)already possess. Myths about time-honored grammar rules are illuminated and de-bunked and there are excellent references for further reading. As a teacher of English, I am always looking for ways to de-mystify grammar, both for my students and for myself, and this book is a good reference towards that goal.
