Nelson the Noun is the resident noun expert in Grammaropolis. Visit the Noun Office and learn from him! It's book one 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. Nelson takes a break from his stressful day job, leaving the Noun Office in the hands of Roger the pronoun. After discovering that vacation isn't what he'd hoped it would be, Nelson returns just in time to fix the confusion Roger has caused in his absence. Clear and informative back matter includes textbook-style definitions and usage examples of common and proper nouns, concrete and abstract nouns, collective nouns, and compound nouns. 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.
