No matter how old you were in the 70s (or heck even if you weren’t alive yet!) you’ve probably heard of the Saturday morning cartoons that taught American basic lessons that are important bits of knowledge, such as how a bill becomes a law. Don’t remember? Check out this link:

Where I’m going with this is, there was a sub section of Schoolhouse Rock called Grammar Rock that taught everything from what a noun is to how to spot interjections in a sentence. One of the all-time favorites is ‘Conjunction Junction’ that taught kids that conjunctions do the business of “hooking up words and phrases and clauses”J
I know we eventually learn all those grammar rules the old-fashioned way, but isn’t it so much easier when the information is presented with catchy music and lyrics? That’s something to think about when you’re teaching your child their reading lessons. The more fun and interactive you can make it, the better and easier it’ll be for your child to grasp everything!
