Sparkle does grammar

I am so proud of Sparkle. A year ago, even 9 months ago, she had no formal understanding of English grammar. She could speak correctly, but couldn't tell a noun from a verb from an adjective.

Now, here she is doing her daily sentence analysis all by herself, upside-down on the sofa.


I do a modified version of four level analysis that we learned from our English textbook (Grammar Island). I add in labeling objects of prepositions, and drawing arrows from modifiers, and drawing arrows from conjunctions. Then I have her compose a sentence using the same pattern (based on a different textbook I plan on using later).
