252. The GPS of Writing: Grammar, Punctuation, and Spelling
Welcome to Julie\u2019s webinar, \u201cThe GPS of Writing: Grammar, Punctuation, and Spelling.\u201d Since Julie is taking a short break from the podcast to focus on her newest book, we\u2019re replacing our typical podcast with a broadcast of this webinar.
Throughout the webinar, Julie weaves a metaphor for grammar, punctuation, and spelling: Grammar is the rules of the word-party, punctuation is the decorator and bouncer, and spelling is the personal stylist.
Most importantly, Julie reminds anxious parents that, at the end of the day, what children really need to learn is how grammar, punctuation, and spelling serve their self expression. It\u2019s not about memorizing rules or being perfect. It\u2019s about repeated exposure to meaningful experiences with living literature.
