Reviews for From Texting to Teaching: Grammar Instruction in a Digital Age
From Texting to Teaching presents a new approach to teaching grammar. The use of social media among students is not going away. Acknowledging the importance of digital grammar to our students is a unique and necessary concept. I really like how the examples in this book are so relatable for kids, and how they actually helped kids see the difference between the two types of grammar and when each should be used. The templates provided are really good, and I like the way the authors provide step-by-step instructions. I recommend this book for middle school English departments.
David Ellena, Principal, Tomahawk Creek Middle School, Midlothian, VA There are teachers who would like to be energized when it comes to grammar instruction. I am definitely not a grammarian, but that doesn't mean I can't do better to help my students in this area of writing. This book will help. And students will really enjoy practicing these strategies because the blend with technology increases the interest. The writers are respectful of children and students and what their reality is today.
