The Grammar for the Well-Trained Mind curriculum is a thorough, easy-to-use grammar program that picks up where the First Language Lessons series left off, giving students in Grades 5 and up the grammar skills needed to write and speak well. "Color" levels may be used in any order as each workbook contains the same rules and examples-but four completely different sets of exercises and assignments, allowing students to develop a wide-ranging knowledge of how the rules and examples are used in writing. Covers one year of instruction. Reproducible for in-family use only. Grades 5 and up.
The Grammar for the Well-Trained Mind Core Instructor Text includes fully scripted dialog for the teacher, suggested student answers in italics, all rules and examples, and teaching notes that explain any ambiguities and difficulties that might be encountered. 386 pages, softcover.
The Grammar Guidebook assembles all of the principles that govern the English language---from basic definitions through advanced sentence structure--into one handy reference work. The rules are illustrated with examples drawn from great literature, along with classic and contemporary works of science, history, and mathematics. 95 pages, hardcover.
The Diagramming Dictionary is an easy-to-use manual that covers all the principles that govern diagramming the English language, from basic subject/predicate layout through advanced sentence structure and analysis, providing examples of how to diagram every part of speech. 80 pages, hardcover.
The Yellow Workbook features numbered lessons that briefly re-state the primary rule or rules being taught before diving into a variety of exercises that will carefully build understanding. Charts, graphics, and examples are integrated as needed, and regular review is incorporated throughout. Exercises often draw from literature, novels, histories, biographies, and science books to encourage students to see how the rules they're learning operate in real literature. 656 pages, softcover.
The Yellow Workbook Key includes exercises from the student workbook with the correct answers overlaid, explanations for the instructor, and guidance as to when the answers might be ambiguous. 512 pages, softcover.
