Universally, teachers and parents have grown tired of poor literacy results and the overall lack of English grammar comprehension in learners.
Whether it is recognizing the difference between a verb, preposition and conjunction or being able to spell correctly, too many learners lack the most basic of
English grammar skills. Grammar Jams and Grammar Jams 2 CDs and Instructional Guides make accomplishing literacy goals engaging and enjoyable.
For use in the home and English, E.S.L. and Special Education classrooms, Grammar Jams is the perfect supplementary teaching tool to help learners on the road to English literacy.
Grammar Jams is designed to meet the following goals:

via differentiated instruction and
multiple intelligences based songs and
activities

Target the most commonly misspelled words in the English language

The instrumental tracks on the Grammar Jams CD provide an opportunity for learners to review and create their own versions of the lyrics. For example, the instrumental version of the song “Jump!” (track #12) allows learners to sing the song with any regular verb. Learners can shout and act out the verbs while singing the song.
