debbiec Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I have a very visual young learner who has some learning differences and I'm looking for a visual, hands on (manipulating) grammar teaching method with some simple diagramming with precut words. I may be hoping for the impossible ~ Many thanks ~ Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlotteb Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Winston Grammar is very hands-on from what I've heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corraleno Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 :iagree: Winston uses colored cards to represent the parts of speech, you lay out the cards in the order the words appear. They use black (blank) cards to stand in for parts of speech that haven't been learned yet. http://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/product?item_no=24681#curr Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TengoFive Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 (edited) There's also Reading Rods. I've looked at these several times, but I don't have any really tactile learners. http://www.learningresources.com/product/reading+rods--174-+sentence+building+kit.do?search=basic&keyword=reading+rods&sortby=best&asc=true&page=2 And these are much cheaper but maybe not quite as tactile: http://www.learningresources.com/product/parents/shop+by+subject/reading-language+arts/reading+-+writing/magnetic+phonics+tiles-+sentence+building.do Edited June 4, 2009 by TengoFive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peela Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Ill back Winston Grammar as well, although we dont tend to use the cards much anymore. My son has never been bad at grammar but he has LDs and with Winston he just does really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Montessori has a wooden, 3 dimensional shape for each part of speech. The diagramming is done with cards and a series of boxes. THere are lots of monti sites you can check out to make your own sets of shapes, cards, and partitioned boxes. After you learn a part of speech and all that, you draw a little symbol above the word in your compositions from time to time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzannah Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 This isn't a program per se, but Lakeshore Learning has some magnetic words which are different colors for the different parts of speech. http://www.lakeshorelearning.com/seo/ca|searchResults~~p|2534374302096036~~.jsp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa in the UP of MI Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 There's also Reading Rods. I've looked at these several times, but I don't have any really tactile learners. http://www.learningresources.com/product/reading+rods--174-+sentence+building+kit.do?search=basic&keyword=reading+rods&sortby=best&asc=true&page=2 We have this and will be combining it with Montessori-ish grammar. My dd doesn't learn anything from workbooks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debbiec Posted June 5, 2009 Author Share Posted June 5, 2009 I knew about Winston, but completely forgot about Montessori. Thanks for all the ideas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
