We used Shurley Grammar with Bob and I liked it. It was slow but you know that can be a good thing. I think the reason I switched was because we did CC Essentials one year.

I pull grammar memory work from there, but I know at some point I might need something more formal for diagramming and memorizing rules and such. My son will be getting the Shurley Grammar rules (I think) in co-op next semester. If I like that, maybe I'll get the whole curriculum. What are your thoughts about Shurley Grammar?Amy Mazehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052176651841122314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3110119519236904310.post-89344643682920761492013-11-08T04:47:22.629+00:002013-11-08T04:47:22.629+00:00Some of the reading that I have done is that rules...Some of the reading that I have done is that rules should be taught in the early grammar years and then moving beyond from there? I would wait until a child is reading and then begin.

The father did not correct him! It drives me crazy! This was not a super young child either.

That works at a slow pace. We might be ready to start next year. I will begin when I think her reading has improved to do it.

(What is a sentence, and what is a fragment? What is a noun, a verb, and an adjective?) They still enjoy the old Schoolhouse Rock grammar songs that first came out in my childhood. Now we use Winston Grammar and Major Grammar/General Grammar books because we inherited them. The kids and I like them. I really haven't thought of grammar with Carissa. She is nine but working on a preschool/kindergarten level. This would be a good challenge for me!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06928717214355406389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3110119519236904310.post-61825377030407346972013-11-06T06:36:20.538+00:002013-11-06T06:36:20.538+00:00What age do you think children should begin to stu...What age do you think children should begin to study grammar?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3110119519236904310.post-829183149891161642013-11-06T04:48:40.097+00:002013-11-06T04:48:40.097+00:00Our Mother Tongue is a great book to have on your ...Our Mother Tongue is a great book to have on your shelf.As He Leads is Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04886201174365236934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3110119519236904310.post-76619685685238084052013-11-06T04:48:08.751+00:002013-11-06T04:48:08.751+00:00Don't worry I am not grading the comments.

I think it's a beautiful English program. Right now we use Grammar Recitation by Memoria Press and we are really enjoying it. My Older Grammar Child will be starting on Winston Grammar in the Spring. It teaches grammar through diagramming and uses manipulatives. Could you please pinch Ms. K's cute cheeks for me! ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14675683785964099319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3110119519236904310.post-87131934218725296252013-11-05T21:34:03.529+00:002013-11-05T21:34:03.529+00:00I dread to write this as I'm sure there will b...I dread to write this as I'm sure there will be some errors!<br />I use a UK programme called Jolly Grammar with my 7 year old. It is fairly basic but teaches the parts of speech and ways of ending a sentence. For my 13 year old, we are using Bridgeway English. Rather to my surprise, he enjoys using these books.DeliveringGracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08320150355352857841noreply@blogger.com
