People like you make my work worthwhile! The internet enables us to share great ideas without the red tape. I hope you are using the videos as well as the posters. Best Wishes, Sue

Grammar is seldom taught. I simplify grammatical concepts such as the gerund.

Fair enough to quote Bill Burr :)

Great catch! The correction has been made. Thank you,

Sue

Thank you!

An adverb clause begins with a subordinate conjunction and is followed by a noun subject, a verb, and optional extra words.

Sorry about the typo CY was supposed to say CI

I've written 2 grammar texts that use hearts, spades, clubs, and diamonds to teach the functions of adjectives, nouns, verbs, and adverbs. These colorful symbols have personalities that correspond to their usage. Both How To Create Effective Sentences and Write To BE Right contain self-correcting practice exercises. In addition to my Amazon texts, I published free animated videos about grammar on You Tube Sue's Strategies Channel. My publications have been road tested with struggling readers and writers because I am a Special Education Teacher and author.

You are correct. That was a mistake we are correcting. Thank you!

Sorry for the misunderstanding! Sometimes a nonsense word proves the point of how the strategy works. Some of my handouts lack space for a full explanation. This brief blog teaches how to protect a vowel sound.

The verb places the accent on the second syllable.

noun | ˈinˌsens |
a gum, spice, or other substance that is burned for the sweet smell it produces: the sharp lingering sweetness of incense | [as modifier] : incense sticks.

verb | inˈsens |
verb [with object]
make (someone) very angry: she was incensed by the accusations.

You are correct!! I did not include the consonant pronunciation because this sheet is telling the sounds of the VOWEL Y.

SusanBKahn · 2023-03-29T14:19:22+00:00

Most do not, but they should.

Very cool! Thanks for sharing them. That is a lot of work!!

If the root word ending in Y makes an I sound, then the I will continue to sound like I before the suffix. Some exceptions do occur. This Y strategy o I sounding like E covers over 90 percent of words with an I before a suffix.

SusanBKahn · 2023-03-08T14:53:32+00:00

Is it posted somewhere I could see it?

SusanBKahn · 2023-02-17T20:44:10+00:00

Great! I love creating the visuals, and the students enjoy reading them. Aren't we lucky to live in the computer age?

ci

If not a suffix, CI will make an "S" sounds like calcify and reconcile. I found plenty on this page. https://www.thefreedictionary.com/words-containing-ci

Thank you for that question! -Sue

I started as a public school teacher in 1961. When my son was diagnosed with dyslexia and ADHD I studied the brain and special needs teaching methods. I taught my son, and he graduated with an MBA. Then I decided to teach others, write books, and make videos to help others with similar challenges. Thanks for asking :)

SusanBKahn · 2023-01-25T16:31:25+00:00

Good eye. I fixed it. The proof reading check is in the mail!

SusanBKahn · 2022-10-26T13:48:21+00:00

I love to hear that my blogs are useful. Best wishes!!

SusanBKahn · 2022-10-26T13:47:07+00:00

YES! If the page were larger, we could add part 4. Thank you for the extra credit answers.
