What's Your Function?

By far my favorite of the School House Rock videos, Grammar Rock is a wonderful teaching tool for children and a fun trip down memory lane for those of us old enough to remember when it was first aired on television.

Anyone who has watched these videos knows that there is definitely a link between music and memory, and School House Rock taps into that phenomenon. With cute animation and catchy lyrics, each video utilizes music as a mnemonic device so children can remember the principles of speech just by humming a familiar tune.

Who can forget those timeless classics like "Conjunction Juntion," "Verb, That's What's Happening," "A Noun is a Person, Place or Thing," and my favorite from Grammar Rock, "Interjection!"? Many adults who grew up with these videos can still recall them today.

I urge everyone who has children to buy the entire School House Rock video set. Start with Grammar Rock, and then move on to Math, then History, then Science. Your children will thank you for it.

Grammar Rock - Great Stuff

I remember Grammar Rock when it first aired on television. It is a colorful, engaging series of short cartoon segments that provide excellent examples of various grammar units such as conjunctions, verbs, nouns, interjections, pronouns, adverbs, etc. As a teacher I use this video in my classroom and I never have to worry about quieting the students down. They are fully focused when they watch, even transfixed! The writing issues of subject/predicate are also explored, which is especially helpful when teaching sentences. I loved this stuff in the 80's and I still love it!

The only downside is that there should be more blank space between learning segments, since units of grammar tend to be taught separately. I found I have to be quick on the draw with the remote so as not to run into the next segment. Otherwise, ENJOY!

Educational, Yet Entertaining!

These classic videos not only remind me of my own Saturday morning cartoon days, but I can still remember the catchy lyrics to this day, approximately 20 years later. I have used this grammar video to help my 2nd and 3rd grade English Language Learners distinguish among nouns, verbs, and adjectives. The results were very promising. (They often refer to the video as a reference to learning their parts of speech.) In addition to the video's educational aspect, the animation is entertaining too. My students ask to watch the video over and over.

Great Intro. to The Parts of Speech

If you are teaching about the various parts of speech (k-4) I would get this tape. Whenever I teach a lesson on a part of speech I usually use this tape to introduce the part we will be talking about. I cannot imagine my lessons without it! It works best if you introduce one part of speech each day by playing the tape and then doing activities that tie in with that part of speech. The kids love learning about nouns, verbs, and adjectives through this tape!

Classic School House Rock

Lolly Lolly Lolly, get your adverbs here, Conjunction Junction, Upack Your Adjectives, etc.. They are all here on Grammar Rock. If you grew up on School House Rock in the 70's, then you owe it to yourself to get this VHS tape. NO, you owe it to yourself to buy the whole collection. You will find yourself singing along just like you did when you were a kid....
