Meet the Parts of Speech.
Eight parts of speech. Workbooks Grades 1-8. The original Grammaropolis storybook line.
Nelson runs the noun office. Vinny is always doing something. Jake describes everything in sight. Roger stands in for whoever just left the room. Lucy connects things to other things, languidly. This is the original Grammaropolis workbook line, and it is the reference template every other department in this catalog inherits from.
Each chapter is anchored to one character. The character voice carries the teaching. The exercises are character-tagged. The quizzes are pure assessment. No worksheet has ever had this much personality.
The cast.
Nine characters, each one a real personality. Every chapter is anchored to one of them.
The eight grade levels.
Single-grade workbooks from Grade 1 through Grade 8. Same eight-chapter spine; the depth scales with the grade. Grades 6 through 8 are in build per the 2026 catalog architecture.
Meet the Parts of Speech, the picture books.
Eight picture books, one per part of speech. The original Grammaropolis IP, born from a December 2005 writing assignment in Coert's Pinewood classroom: pick a part of speech, give it a personality, write a children's book about it. The students wrote them; Coert turned the assignment into a publishing line; the line became a brand. A Grades 1 through 5 read-along that holds up at every age in the band.
