Garden of Praise: Grammar Songs
Grades K-5, with parental supervision This ad-supported website was created by a veteran classroom teacher and provides free songs that teach grammar along with online and printable activities and materials to reinforce learning.
The idea here is that learning rote grammar rules and parts of speech is easier when set to music.
When you get to the site, you’ll see a menu of parts of speech including:
- Nouns
- Verbs
- Pronouns
- Adjectives
- Adverbs
- Prepositions
- Conjunctions
- Articles
- Punctuation
Below the menu, are instructions for how to teach the lessons using the songs and printable cards and posters.
Click on any menu item, and a new page opens with a definition, examples, a link to the song (with music and lyrics), as well as links to downloadable activities. (For example, if you click on “Noun,” you’ll be able to access a crossword puzzle in pdf, and a link to another website containing an interactive noun game.)
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
