I recently stumbled on an article that took me back to the days of Elementary School. Remembering back to 4th grade where my biggest daily fear took place. Not the rope in gym class, the dreaded Daily Oral Language or DOL. At the beginning of every English class we would take out our journals and stare into the overhead at we memorized and were tested on some aspect of grammar. I hated it.
While I hated DOL, it has been shown to be an effective way to teach grammar rules. Since I graduated Elementary School some teachers have had the notion that grammar can be taught as a co-benefit in teaching other Elementary School English subjects like vocabulary, sentence structure, or style. Not the case, teaching grammar rules explicitly like in my hated DOL past has been shown to be the best approach for grammar knowledge overtime. So, thank you Miss. Johnson. I owe you what foundational grammar knowledge I have. I still hate the gym rope.
