Publisher Description:
Join Connie the Conjunction for a conjunction lesson you'll love and remember. It's book six of the Meet the Parts of Speech series, in which the eight parts of speech are personified based on the roles they play in the sentence.

Nobody in all of Grammaropolis has more style than Connie; she simply knows how to put things together. After a bump on the head makes her give bad advice, she uses all the conjunctions at her disposal to set everything right again. Clear and informative back matter includes textbook-style definitions and examples for coordinating conjunctions, correlative conjunctions, and subordinating conjunctions.

In Grammaropolis, adverbs don't just modify verbs; adverbs are bossy. They tell the verbs where to go, when to leave, and how to get there. A pronoun doesn't just replace a noun; Roger the pronoun is a shady character who's always trying to trick Nelson the noun into giving up his spot. The Meet the Parts of Speech series uses the mechanics of character and story (plot, motivation, setting, etc.) to breathe life into what has traditionally been unengaging subject matter.

Our story-based approach combines traditional instruction with original narrative content, which appeals to different learning styles, increases both engagement and retention, and encourages students to make a deeper connection with the parts of speech and punctuation marks.
