ABSTRACT

This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book provides specific recommendations for teaching a grammatical concept, the subsequent recommendations provide a general framework for grammar instruction that connects grammatical concepts to the characteristics of effective writing and shows students that these concepts are tools that writers use to enhance their work. It deals with important fundamental information about its focal concept and aims to contain examples from children’s or young adult literature of particular grammatical concepts. Grammar instruction that is linked with literature and writing provides a pedagogically sound and research-based alternative to the conventional work sheets and out-of-context grammar exercises that C. Weaver and other grammar experts tell teachers to avoid.
