Quick
and Dirty Tips just released Grammar Pop, a fun
new word game for the iPad, designed to help players master parts of
speech. It was created by Mignon Fogarty, the Grammar Girl podcast host
and New York Times best-selling author. Grammar
Pop lets users match words in sentences with 1 of 11 speech parts. The
game starts off with the basics (nouns, verbs, and articles) and
advances through 14,000 words
and 28 levels of difficulty. Higher levels include more advanced
concepts, such as gerunds, participles, and infinitives. Users can start
at Level 1 or move between levels at will, collecting coin prizes and
earning achievements along the way.
Grammar
Pop is appropriate for children and adults of all ages and grammar
levels. 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.
The
app sells for $1.99 at the iTunes store and discount group rates are
available for academic institutions.
