Daily Grammar (http://www.dailygrammar.com/)
Topics included:
  • Grammar
Site sponsor: Word Place, Inc.Site author: Bill Johanson
Date added: 2004-06-14 12:42:28Number of activity pages in the VGL: 1
Description:"Daily Grammar is a free service of Word Place, Inc. Much like A Word A Day (no affiliation), which teaches you a new word each day, Daily Grammar sends you e-mail messages with a grammar lesson five days of the week and a quiz on the sixth day. You can look at all the lessons in our Archive section." Seems to be geared for native speaker language arts, but also useful for ESL students. Archives show an entire weeks worth of emails on the same page, so the explanation is often repeated, which might be confusing to students using it online. Teachers could cut and paste into a word processor to reformat.
