This set of spiral-bound course materials provides all the lecture notes, quizzes, and student work needed for one student using this course. Each student will need one text. Use this text alongside the required teaching from Jonathan Rogers, PhD (available as DVD or with the digital streaming course). Students will strengthen their grammar skills while also learning stylistic choices such as active versus passive voice, keeping subjects close to verbs, nominalization, and more. This preprinted option saves you the hassle of printing over 250 pages of materials. ~ Ruth

Description
Category Description for Grammar for Writers
The Grammar for Writers program asserts that grammar is communication and we use grammar to analyze our meaning. This program believes strengthening and focusing on grammar will improve students’ sentences and help them write well for their intended audience.
The course instructor, Jonathan Rogers, PhD (author of the Wilderking Trilogy and The World According to Narnia), guides students systematically through identifying grammar concepts, finding errors, and implementing corrections. Students will learn about and apply traditional grammar concepts, but also apply aspects such as clause patterns, active/passive voice, non-essential elements, and more. The course is available in two formats. The mandatory 41 short video lectures, with PDF notes and quizzes, are available via streaming; access lasts for one year from time of activation. The two main course components include teaching digital videos (available to stream on multiple platforms) and PDF lecture notes and quizzes for each lesson. The streaming/PDF access is a 12-month license. While these materials can be used for multiple students in one family, classroom licenses are available directly from Classical Academic Press. For an Internet-free option, select one of the preprinted course materials per student and the still-available DVD Instruction instead. ~ Ruth
