Sample Practice: Level 4
Level 4: Grammar & Punctuation for Life focuses on grammar and advanced punctuation. Though we teach grammar and punctuation conventions beginning right away in Level 1, Level 4 goes deep into word cases, sentence word functions, commas, dashes, emotional formatting, semi-colons, and other conventions, as well as even more rhetorical literary techniques. Students do a great deal of intense analytical thinking in writing in Level 3, so Level 4 balances this out with more of a focus on longer creative writing—as well as periodic essays.
Practice 4.8.3: Word knitting, boss 2 builds on what your child has already learned about advanced punctuation and grammar by asking them to create flawless complex sentences out of gibberish. Though this looks simple, your child has to have an excellent grasp of grammar and punctuation to do this task. As with all our practices, we also test your child’s critical reading and writing skills with multiple-choice questions about a text.
Our goal in Level 4 is to have your child wield punctuation and rhetorical techniques to communicate with the greatest possible impact. We teach them to have an iron-clad understanding of grammar, punctuation, and rhetoric, but to use them with exquisite nuance.
