Izzy the Interjection makes learning about interjections fun. Yay!
It's book eight of the Meet the Parts of Speech series, in which the
eight parts of speech are personified based on the roles they play in
the sentence.
No matter whether the emotion is strong or mild, positive, negative, or
somewhere in between, Izzy lives to express it. Loneliness can be a
problem sometimes because she's not grammatically connected to the other
words in the sentence, but when the time comes, she leaps at the chance
to express her strongest emotion yet. Clear and informative back matter
includes textbook-style definitions and examples of how interjections
express mild and strong emotion.
In Grammaropolis, adverbs don't just modify verbs; adverbs are bossy.
They tell the verbs where to go, when to leave, and how to
get there. A pronoun doesn't just replace a noun; Roger the pronoun is a
shady character who's always trying to trick Nelson the noun into giving
up his spot. The Meet the Parts of Speech series uses the mechanics of
character and story (plot, motivation, setting, etc.) to breathe life
into what has traditionally been unengaging subject matter.
Our story-based approach combines traditional instruction with original
narrative content, which appeals to different learning styles, increases
both engagement and retention, and encourages students to make a deeper
connection with the parts of speech and punctuation marks.
