Community Review for Grammaropolis
My Take
I truly enjoyed the liveliness of this app. It was pretty simple for my students to navigate even though most of them have not used a lot of technology. Many times they requested to play the different games on the app. This can definitely be used to reinforce concepts and solidify grammar rules.
How I Use It
My students are newcomers and what worked for them was the ability to reinforce their learning through these fun games and activities. After I introduced parts of speech we utilized this app for reinforcement in their learning. Also, I was able to create an around the world group activity using the different components of this app.

Cute Approach to Grammar
I really like this website. Grammar is such a dull topic that and the videos and characters make it more engaging. It was especially beneficial for my ELLs and IEP kids.

Nouns, for example, include common, proper, concrete and abstract nouns. It also includes prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections.

Various features include mini movies, music videos, lessons, and games. Student engagement remains high with the fun graphics and music. Independent practice for students on something as boring as grammar is much more fun and engaging with this app.
