Summary: Good homeschooling resource
Comment: Schools--whether public or homeschools-- don't tend to focus on grammar because I suspect most parents are as afraid of it and mystified by it as are their students. But this book is a wonderful resource for homeschoolers, or for parents who want their kids to know more about grammar than they are learning at school.

We are homeschoolers who have borrowed, and are now buying, this book because it provides such clear, easy-to follow grammar lessons. It is geared toward elementary-aged kids. New readers will need some help with the lessons, but with mom or dad working alongside they do make sense. Good readers (at the 3rd grade level, at least)can work on the assignments alone.

The lessons are one or two pages long, written in large print, and usually focus on one grammar rule at a time. Each one builds upon the other. There is some review so that the kids don't forget what they've learned. It is not written in stilted language-- it's easy and even fun to read.

My son, who had never done any grammar homework per se, groaned when I announced we would be working on this stuff. But when he started doing the work, he said, "Wow, this isn't so bad!" As someone who faked their way through grammar classes in high school, I look forward to learning along with my children.
