What Is Fix It! Grammar?
Fix It! Grammar by IEW (Institute for Excellence in Writing) offers a hands-on, story-based grammar curriculum. Across six leveled books, students edit daily passages that cumulatively form a story, reinforcing grammar, punctuation, and writing skills—all in just 15 minutes a day.
Why Fix It! Grammar Works So Well
-
Contextual Learning
Grammar rules are taught in context, not isolation. Students learn by editing real, ongoing stories, making concepts stick and applying them naturally in their own writing. -
Mastery Through Repetition
The same grammar rules are reinforced throughout the year and across levels. This spiral approach ensures students move from beginner to advanced understanding over time. -
Bite-Sized Daily Lessons
Each lesson features a clear structure: learn the rule, read the passage, mark parts of speech, correct errors, and rewrite the improved sentence. -
Vocabulary & Writing Models
Students encounter rich vocabulary and complex sentence structures within the stories—building both language and stylistic awareness. -
Self-Check & Teacher Support
Teacher’s manuals include glossaries and answer keys, allowing parents to guide or have students self-check—without guessing or confusion.
How It’s Structured
With six sequential levels—ranging from Nose Tree to Little Mermaid—Fix It! Grammar spans early elementary through high school readiness:
- Level 1 (Nose Tree): Foundations like noun-verb recognition, end punctuation, and basic sentence structure.
- Mid Levels: Introduce commas, clauses, quotation marks, pronouns, and sentence variety.
- Advanced Levels: Master complex phrases, transitions, verbals, active/passive voice, parallelism, and more.
Each level covers a full school year with 30 weeks of lessons, typically spread over four days per week, making it easy to integrate into any schedule.
