About This Workshop

The art of grammar develops a sensitivity to language; this language sensitivity is formed in reading, hearing, speaking, and writing the language. By attentively reading harmonious language, a student further becomes sensitive to harmonizing his or her own mind. By internalizing grammar’s form and symbols, which increases a sensitivity to language, one’s mind is liberated from discordant or confusing thoughts. Teachers can walk a few paths to develop language sensitivity in our students. Dictation, hearing and writing the language, develops attention, memory, imitation, and sensitivity. Narration, an act of remembering and retelling, is one path that develops language sensitivity. Join Molly Rychener in this active workshop during which we will practice dictation and narration (bring a pen and paper) before contemplating how to bring dictation into our classrooms.
