In the K–12 setting, grammar instruction can be tedious and demoralizing. Rather than elevating students and celebrating their successes, it too often becomes an exercise in red-lining their mistakes.

Experts say it is time to shift that model. As editor of the Journal of Literacy Innovation, Ruday is among those advocating for a change.
