Most English-speaking children can say these sounds, put them in some 4000 to 24,000 words which they use in oral sentences that they comprehend before they enter grade one. 1. Seashore, Robert H. Journal of Educational Psychology, Volume 31, January, 1940, pages 14 through 38. The purpose for teaching the sound/symbol relationships first, in isolation, without key words or pictures (this is "explicit" phonics), is to give students, quickly, the information they need to spell and write, correctly, what they can already hear, say

Break out of the grammar trap: Distinguish between essential and nonessential rules of grammar, punctuation, and usage How much attention should technical communicators pay to formal rules of grammar, punctuation, and usage? Does incorrect grammar, punctuation, or usage detract from the value and usability of your group’s publications? Does your audience care, or even notice, if formal rules are broken? Why have rules? Grammar is the arrangement, relationships, and functions of words and the ways they are put together to form phrases, clauses or sentences. Punctuation marks are signals that help readers to understand the ideas in a passage and read more quickly and efficiently. Rules of grammar, punctuation, and usage can be essential or nonessential—or even fake! Writers and editors need to pay attention to the essential issues, but can spend less time on nonessential issues—particularly in the face of tight deadlines—and they can safely ignore the fake issues. Essential rules are those that are necessary for clear, unambiguous communication.

Grammatically Correct A weekly grammar tip created by Academic Center Peer Writing Tutors. University of Houston-Victoria 3007 N. Ben Wilson Victoria, TX 77901 When to Capitalize Names, Professional Titles, and Family Relationships by David Felts Capitalizing names, titles, and family relationships properly indicates your intended meaning to your reader. Ex: We gained an understanding of that issue from Professor Pantz. Ex: Dr. Pantz is a professor at my university. When people's titles are used without their names, only capitalize the titles when they refer to individuals with high rank. Ex: Yesterday, the President voted to renew the engineer's contract.
