CPD Grammar Teacher Training

Sparkle Academy Teacher Training Offers Jolly Grammar through CPD College Ireland – Online

From the creators of the outstanding and acclaimed Jolly Phonics Program comes the equally amazing and very successful Jolly Grammar Program which encompasses all the salient points for Grammar, Spelling & Punctuation for ages 7 to 13+.

If you want your students/child to write well in English, then correct usage of Grammar, Spelling and Punctuation is essential to coding the writing correctly and for the correct expression of the message.

“Oh, how I wish that they could write better”, I hear them say?  The refrain of teachers everywhere, the national lamentation, is that writing standards are slipping in the era of ‘The Screen Generation’, where communication is truncated to within an inch of its meaningful life.

Our youth today seem to think that most Grammar, full spellings and almost all punctuation is completely subservient to the message! ……… nay, even surplus to requirements.

Never was it more timely to re-iterate for all, the requirement for proper Grammar, accurate spelling and correct punctuation, all three, just like good manners, always necessary and ever appreciated.

The programme is completely thorough, with 36 Grammar and 36 Spelling lessons at each year level from year 1 to year 6, equating to 216 Grammar and 216 Spelling lessons across the primary years, totalling 432 lessons that are systematic, strongly structured, sequential, incremental in difficulty and progressive in nature. Within the course, we tour through the key points, a suite of rules and best teaching practices.

Our course equips teachers with the knowledge, understanding and skill sets necessary to deliver a gold standard education to their children in all aspects of English Grammar, Spelling and Punctuation.

From historical perspectives, to scope and sequence charts across the classes, from adjectives and adverbs to writing complex sentences and using correct punctuation, this course covers all bases for the teachers striving to have their students understand the myriad of conventions and do it well.

Participants tell us that this program should be structural to every school’s language scheme of work and an essential part of all staff professional development.

Welcome to proper language usage!
