Description
Category Description for Grammar for the Well-Trained Mind - Purple
This revised edition Purple Level of Grammar for the Well-Trained Mind provides 36 weeks’ worth of grammar curriculum using a mastery-based approach. Grammar rules are clearly defined. Review is regular. Grammar practice pulls excerpts from history books, as well as quotations from excellent authors such as William Shakespeare, Howard Pyle, and Melville. This edition is so user friendly; graphic layout and teacher directions are easily found and followed. After a fairly thorough look, it appeared that the methodology and content from the previous level has not changed.
As with each of the levels, from week 20 on, the grammar challenge becomes more difficult. No worries! The author recommends going at your own pace. Since you start with the color of your choosing, you’ll get an annual rotation of concepts (from the course’s beginning to end). Another option is to follow the publisher’s alternative suggestion that spirals on the first 40 lessons. Either way, when your choice of goals is completed, move on to the next color (with coordinating answer key) in the series. The series is designed for spiral review from year to year. Also, regular reviews occur every three weeks, starting at week 28. Note: review weeks are designed to be taken slowly. The student workbook is reproducible only for use within your own household.
To use this course, you’ll need both the Key and the consumable Student Workbook. Strongly recommended is the Diagramming Dictionary. For additional How to Diagram Any Sentence.
