Ginevra Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 (edited) What I really want to do with DS12 is go through a short (not a whole year), explicit (not implicit) instruction almost entirely focused on punctuation. I want something that will have a lesson that is something like, "This is a colon (:). It is used in these instances: blah, blah, blah. Now, add a colon to the following samples... Now do a short review of the punctuation we have learned and choose the correct missing punctuation." Is there anything like this? I am thisclose to making my own. He needs it to be explicit; I've already learned the difference between my implicit and explicit learners and this is something I beleive he will learn best if it is totally uncluttered and utterly straight-forward. ETA: Wow. It turned my colon and parenthesis into a smiley. Edited June 11, 2017 by Quill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjand6more Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Grammar programs spend so little time on punctuation. I am planning on using these workbooks this year as a review for my 10th grader and 7th grader. Punctuation is explicit in the reteaching books. It is the last section. http://www.glencoe.com/sites/alabama/teacher/languageart/assets/workbooks.html 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I haven't used them but for your perusal, there is jag punctuation and cozy grammar punctuation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fourisenough Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Junior AG Mechanics is exactly what you're describing! It is a 10-week program (if I remember correctly). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I'm ditheting between Jensen's and JAG. I like that Jensen's is closer for an older student, but I also like that JAG has a DVD program. I like that Jensen's has page samples (at Rainbow); JAG doesn't have this. Jensen's is cheaper, too. JAG looks simpler, but it's hard to tell.

Guest Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Have you seen the sample of JAG on Christianbook.com? No, I didn't go to Christianbook. I only looked at it on Rainbow. I ordered Jensen's yesterday. So, hopefully it will suit my purposes. 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aprilleigh Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Nice! I might have to look into this as a review if gentle reminders don't correct some of what I've been seeing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 The Groovy Guide to Grammar could be a short one that does this... but it also does grammar concepts, not just mechanics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
