WET FEET!

Let's review.

Today's language arts textbook publishers encourage splashing, not swimming. They are far too stingy with the crucial resources required to introduce, reinforce, and maintain a viable language arts curriculum.

Let's review.

Practice does indeed make perfect, and our hikers are basically stranded on the shore until textbook publishers and other members of our education community learn to present the language arts curriculum in a logical and sequential order, provide abundant skill building and practice exercises, and supply a generous helping of review and skill maintenance opportunities.

Thank you so much for considering Syntax For Sailors. An extremely shipshape and seaworthy vessel patiently awaits you at the dock, and your voyage from Nouns to Noun Clauses begins HERE.

A “souped-up” engine is an engine that has been modified to produce enhanced performance.

Much like incorporating “souped-up” color choices (cerulean, thistle, orchid, fuchsia, aquamarine, mulberry, plum, melon, periwinkle, sepia, goldenrod) has the potential to turn an ordinary crayon project into a masterpiece, incorporating “souped-up” syntactic choices (participial phrases, compound-complex sentences, gerunds, noun clauses, infinitive phrases, adjective clauses) has the potential to improve ordinary communication by dynamically enhancing versatility, flexibility, clarity, and effectiveness.

If we expect grammatical sophistication from today’s writer and speaker, we need to ensure they have a full box of crayons--not eight crayons; not sixteen crayons; but a full box of sixty-four.

I have all the crayons,

and unlike those who fail to foster the incredible variety of readily available syntactic choices that make our language rich, dynamic, and versatile,

I enthusiastically share them all.
