Welcome PRC users!

I created this blog as an easy way to help PRC communication device users teach parts of speech to their clients/children. Some of you may not be familiar with YouTube, so I will just put the School House Rock videos some of us Old Timers use to watch as kids on here. I will put them in the order they appear on the 84 location, as that is what I am most familiar with. Show them to your charges over and over, until it is ingrained in their head. My daughter never knew what School House Rock was, until my sons gave me the idea to look it up on YouTube. Who can not look at the train grammar icon, and burst into the chorus of Conjunction Junction, what's your function?

Just proof that sometimes, the simple cartoons we use to see during every commercial break on Saturday mornings, would come in so handy to us in the future. Also proof that sometimes, the oldies really are the goodies!

For the Wikipedia definition of School House Rock videos, please go here.

First tip of the Day: Give each part of speech it's own color. Verbs are already green, and nouns are already orange. We used Magenta on the Fireworks key, because it is a bright color that pops. We used Purple on the Wizard/Determiner key, because on the cartoon PROUD FAMILY, LITTLE WIZARD is dressed in Purple. Conjunctions are dark orange, no specific reason, LOL We did change the prepositions to a little darker shade of pink than was original. When you are on each part of speech page, make sure all the words for that part of speech are the same color as your original. I found this just helps to identify them all a little more.
