Book excerpt: In Funner Grammar, Sandra Wilde approaches language learning in ways that reflect contemporary usage, including respectful and celebratory treatment of American language diversity. Help your students learn about language for its own sake--without mind-numbing workbook exercises--with sample lessons and fresh ways of thinking about: mechanics--the convention of written language; traditional grammar instruction--simple and accurate ways to think about parts of speech, sentence types, and verb tenses; usage--why some ways that people speak are considered "wrong," and how teachers can help kids understand and control their choices in spoken and written language; language and social justice--how knowledge of language variation can help us treat all children fairly and support English language learners; and, linguistics--how to explore language in interesting ways.
