A super affordable and academically solid grammar program! Lessons begin with review of the basics—sentence types, parts of speech, and punctuation before getting more in-depth with complex sentences, elliptical sentences, gerunds, idioms, and more. Any time a new concept is introduced, it’s accompanied by a small swan picture. Each of the 60 lessons is divided into 2 sections (A & B) for a total of about 120 assignments, perfect for a full year of grammar study. Lessons review previous concepts often to help them stick. There are many short writing assignments included (paragraphs, poems, articles, book reports, summaries, and various types of short stories) that aren’t designed to fulfill a full composition credit but allow grammar skills to be applied and practiced creatively. This student book also includes 6 student tests, one for each unit. The Teacher Book is an exact replica of the student book with answers for tests and assignments filled in (written in cursive). 173 pgs, paperback.
