Grammaropolis NAESP
Were you a child of School House Rock? Did you learn how a bill became a law by singing the School House Rock song about it? Did you learn what a conjunction was by listening to “Conjunction junction what’s your function”.
Well creating characters, songs, videos and games about Grammar is exactly how the company reaches thousands of elementary school students.
Grammaropolis uses the parts of speech as animated characters whose personalities are based on the roles they play in the sentence. From the shady pronoun always trying to take the noun’s place to the motherly conjunction who just wants everyone to get along, Grammaropolis achieves the impossible: we make learning grammar fun!
Their innovative approach blends character-based content with traditional quiz-based assessment and is designed to address students’ varied learning styles. Because the parts of speech are personified based on their roles in the sentence, the characterization provides students with a more effective way to visualize and internalize the roles of the parts of speech and to identify how a sentence is put together.Grammaropolis is presented in a common core aligned story based approach that keeps engagement and high, primarily because it’s fun.
For teachers, Grammaropolis allows students to login from anywhere, at school, at home or on a mobile device. Teachers can track their progress on a teacher dashboard regardless of where the student worked on the activity. Teachers get a birds eye view of each and all of their students using the Grammaropolis dashboard which immediately identifies problem areas and successes for each student.
Grammaropolis can be accessed on the web here and for Android here and iOS here. You can find Grammaropolis at the National Association Of Elementary School Principals Conference (NAESP) at booth #716
