I loved these songs as a child. This is a good video to help reinforce the parts of speech. I went to Target a few weeks after purchasing this and found the School House Rock DVD with all 46 songs for 13 bucks. I wish I had checked there first.

I teach high school English and use these songs to review grammar concepts. The songs are catchy, funny, and informative, and the videos don't seem dated. In fact, Schoolhouse Rock is now retro, so kids think it's cool again!

I just entered college for the first time at 55 years old. Needless to say any grammar I remember over 40 years ago was long gone. I bought this DVD and it is helping me to remember what I forgot and to learn what I have never learned before.

This is a must for every elementary classroom. The kids love singing along as they learn about the different parts of speech.

This book does exactly what the title says it rocks. My ELL students are loving it.

As a teacher, I was delighted to find School House Rock for Grammar. Since I had an old copy, I was thinking this would be a more recent edition. Sadly, it turned out to be the same one I already had. It's a Windows 95 platform so my classroom computer can't run it. I thought by now there would have been an updated version because it's a wonderful program. Order date: 10/29/11 #178046 Children's Software Online sold it through Amazon and does suggest help for Windows 7 Users Now I'm hoping to find a way to make it work.

I remember the "Schoolhouse Grammar rock" and Math rock, etc. when I was a kid. (They used to play on Saturday mornings in between cartoons.) Now that I am an educator myself, I was pleasantly surprised to see that there is a Grammar Schoolhouse Rock DVD that I can play for my students. The quality (video and audio) of the "clips" are very good and I find myself using the snippets from the songs to further reinforce the grammar concepts to my students. ( I'll start to sing "a Noun. . ." and they'll finish singing " . . is a person, place ,or thing!") Putting these concepts to music is FUN to sing and helps to commit the grammar concept to memory! In summary, I guess I'd have to say this DVD is a piece of nostalgia that will never appear old or dated. My students ask to play it again and again.

This video is educational as well as entertaining. Who says education has to be boring??
The catchy tunes help children remember the grammar rules -- even before they understand
what they mean -- forming a foundation for future learning.
As a teacher and grandmother of four, I was pleased to order this DVD for my grandchildren.

I am a language arts teacher and love using this for a fun opening to parts of speech. Great experience!!

This is just the grammar songs - you can buy the 30th Anniversary Edition (which includes all 46 songs, not just grammar) for half the price. It's $13.99 right now, and this one with just the grammar songs is $24--not a tough decision. Here's the listing: Schoolhouse Rock! (Special 30th Anniversary Edition)
