Syntax! What is it and What do you need to know?

Syntax is the structure of sentences. Syntax is the order of words in a language. It is certain structural rules that sentences have to follow in order to make sense and flow. 

TIP:

Parents can help just as easily as teachers can with syntax. Parents can correct children and their sentence structure by verbally saying the sentence the correct way. You do not need to tell the child they are incorrect, you just need to model the correct way. 

Here are helpful links to do so:
