I purchased this grammar package after struggling with grammar with both my 9th & 12th grader for some time. When it arrived and I read through it, I decided to purchase a book for my 6th grader as well. Winston Grammar is easy to use. The color-coded cards are a wonderful help when learning parts of speech; tactile and visual learners would benefit from this. The teacher's guide is useful, including examples for each new concept. I think it is well worth the money. My children all learned a great deal from it. My 6th grader even says it is her favorite subject and begged me to purchase the advanced level!

This finally taught grammar to my children. They would know it for a few weeks then totally forget it if not reviewing all the time. You are working on all parts of speech every day as you learn them, that way they are not so easy to forget. It is very teacher friendly, has short to the point lessons, no prep needed on my part. I bought the supplemental book to use with the regular set, since we struggled and I wanted them to really get it. We did 4 - 5 sentences each day. I used it for grades 5, 6, & 9. They all benefited. I recommend it to all homeschoolers I meet who have children struggling with grammar.

Winston Grammar is helping my son to understand grammar! He is almost 11 and has Asperger's Syndrome and specific language disability. Until a couple of months ago, he could not differentiate a noun from any other part of speech. We had tried multiple combination language arts curricula as well as other grammar-specific programs, and I was shocked to find out earlier this year that he could not tell me what a noun was and didn't know how to identify one in a sentence. After reading some reviews on the internet, I decided to give Winston Grammar a try. What a find! This program is so simple but innovative. The clue cards are pure genius! My son is a kinesthetic and visual learner, and the cards give him the ability to "build" the sentences and "see" the parts of speech. Another aspect of the program which we both like is how little time it requires. My son usually does 3-4 sentences a day in about 5-10 minutes. It does my heart good to hear my son use the noun clue questions aloud and know that he finally understands what a noun is and how it functions in a sentence! This is a fabulous grammar program, a steal at its modest price!

What a refreshing blessing this program has been for us. After using many programs with previous children and finding their long term retention so poor, I decided to go with a gut feeling that I had and try Winston Grammar. This program is much more than meets the eye. On the surface, it looks almost too simple, but using the cards kinisthetically and as clues to learn grammar parts is pure genius to me and I plan on using it with the rest of my children. The cards really brought grammar to life for me and my son and the TM gives you instruction on what to teach while keeping it simple and not overwhelming your child. I am doing the lessons right alongside of him so that this time around, even I get it. We do 3-4 sentences a day as the program intended and this has kept us from forgetting what we have learned previously. There is constant review as you are labeling parts of speech with each lesson so we did not even need to order the supplementary book, but I can see where it would be necessary for a younger child or even as extra review. Winston is a definite keeper for us! We are eager to begin Winston Advanced next year. Dee in Sunny FL!
