Users can start at Level 1 or move between levels at will, collecting coin prizes and earning achievements along the way.

Features:

  • The game includes “help” text that reviews the parts of speech. Additional supporting educational content is also available at GrammarPop.com for teachers who wish to include Grammar Pop in their language-curriculum.
  • Dozens of Grammar Girl fans, many of them English language educators, beta tested Grammar Pop, giving it high marks for its fast, fun pace, and its ability to help players truly master parts of speech.
  • Quick and Dirty Tips consulted a linguist to ensure the highest level of accuracy, and Fogarty also compared the game sentences to the Common Core standards to ensure that the sentences represent a wide range of the concepts educators are striving to teach.
