Reading is key to understanding proper English grammar. Writing short sentences is a good start, but as the student's vocabulary expands so does their ability to write paragraphs and then essays.
For grammar, students should start to understand the structure of a sentence with subject, and predicate. Then with enough understanding of nouns, verbs, adverbs, the student would need to go through exercises to identify correct and incorrect usages of subject, and predicate. This section would require a lot of time and investment as this is the core foundation of reading comprehension , and writing . For spelling, the student would need to read, and speak outloud words for correct pronunciation, and memorize a batch of words per week or month to build their vocabulary. When it comes to punctuation, this would require reading and understanding the context of the subject and tone of each exercise. There would be a focus on declarative statements, questions, and examples that would use exclamation points.
