Each grade level divides skills into 6 chapters, each one beginning with a teacher’s overview of skills, a checklist of key skills, and helpful definitions. Each lesson starts with a brief instruction/overview and finishes with a short student exercise. Levels progress systematically, starting with introductory skills in K and finishing with more nuanced skills such as verb moods, stylistic devices like voice, figures of speech, and word roots by Grade 8. Grade K begins with letter recognition, capitalization, and punctuation. Then it progresses to parts of speech and usage/vocabulary (skills which continue in grades 1-3). Grade 1 begins parts of speech studies. Starting with Grade 4, students annually work on parts of speech, sentence structure, language/vocabulary, and capitalization/punctuation. For books in grades 3-5, a handful of short videos supplement instruction via QR codes. These are 2–3-minute video explanations of grammatical concepts on YouTube®. Answers to lessons, reviews, and tests included. Not reproducible. Includes 192 perforated pages, pb. ~ Ruth
