Combining solid coverage of all aspect of grammar, the instructional format of this program is a bit unusual. Providing a self-paced program with “supervisor" aka parent/teacher check points, this course uses a paperback textbook with student workbook, both of which have color-coded pages. The learning guide lays out the steps for the student to complete, which are basically a reading assignment followed by workbook exercises. The workbook exercises ask students to write out definitions of grammar terms, to construct example sentences and paragraphs, and to complete reinforcement exercises. The concepts are presented in a straight-forward way with adequate examples and minimal repetitive work. Answers for the workbook exercises are in the back of the workbook. Upon section completion, there are six exams dividing the topic coverage. ~Judy
