We have used the workbook for one week now. I like the amount of material per page. You do need to take their advice and make a copy of the preposition page at the front. It helps to avoid the turning back and forth. The lessons appear to be progressive, and I look forward to a positive experience with grammar.Update- several weeks later). If you are starting your student off for the first time in an upper level, be prepared to do review. I thought the teacher manual would provide additional practice pages, but not so. Be ready to come up with additional practice, esp. if your student is starting easy grammar for the first time at an upper level. I still am pleased with the system and am esp. happy to have my younger student starting off at level 3 early on. Wish we had started the older student with this system earlier. Later Update- Half a year later. we only completed part of the book, since we got a late start. Will continue next year to complete this book. Definitely glad to have some tips from the teacher workbook, since apparently you need it to be as smart as a fifth grader!
I will start by saying I am a HUGE fan of First Language Lessons. They do not have a fifth grade curriculum, so I got EG. So far (we are about 1/4 way through the book) it is covering everything we did in 4th grade FLL. I don't like how "easy" it is as I think there is not enough detailed instruction for either teacher or child. I am not sure if I will lower the rating if and when we get to new material. My 11 year old daughter does like that the daily assignment is so easy and short. My friend uses it and really likes it. Since FLL is not an option (though I am using their writing program this year), we'll see it through.
My son struggled to do his language so we switched to this. It has been so much better for him. He struggles with writing and usually becomes very frustrated with it. This curriculum has less writing and is more to the point.
We love this curriculum. My son is autistic and the lessons are very easy for him understand and comprehend. He has improved his grade from failing to making an A. It is a great curriculum for homeschooling. We spend 30 minutes a day on 2 lessons, which is great my son can't sit longer than that. He also loses interest within 45 minutes. No more fighting about getting grammar work done. I also have the teachers manual.
I taught my kids the list of prepositions in the beginning of the book to the tune of Mary had a little Lamb. My college graduates still can sing the song, ha ha. It is the simplest way to teach grammar, to find the prepositional phrase and cross it out.
Excellent product. Many resourceful and simply explained ways to understand part of speech. Highly recommended even if all you want is to self educate.
Wanda Phillips does an absolute amazing job at making Grammar not only enjoyable, but not so overly time consuming that it could detract from the possible interest in English and Grammar that students might experience with other grammar books. My daughter and two eldest sons enjoyed the Easy Grammar books as well as the Daily Grams she sells on her site. Thanks SO much Wanda for producing such user friendly teaching materials that even us mom's can easily use with our children! These books have helped my children tremendously!
This system is so simple, it's genius! Such a smart way to teach grammar! You start with learning prepositions which seems odd at first, ut once kids know preposiyions and prep. phrases, the rest of the sentence is so easy to dissect!
