P.S Teaching Punctuation and Grammar does not have to be boring. It also doesn’t have to be complicated. If you have an older child or a student who needs help in this area, you may want to consider The Ten Minute Tutor to help them get up to speed quickly. Just like this quick activity, ten minutes a day is all that is required. Your child or student can just select the Punctuation and Grammar tutorials of their choice and with no lock in contracts, you can cancel when you want. On The Ten Minute Tutor I do all the teaching via 10 minute videos and worksheets are provided electronically or as a download.

P.P.S. You also have a 30 Day Money Back Guarantee to check it out with no risk.

P.P.P.S. Thank you to all those ‘Grammar Experts’ and switched on, great teachers who noticed my typo in the last FREE Grammar resource I sent out. Your were all spot on. Bird’s chirp. X Is not a complete sentence as the apostrophe indicates we are describing a bird’s chirping. The complete sentence would be Birds chirp.? I appreciate your feedback. Keep it coming!
