Joy at Home Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Are there any online resources I can use to help with writing mechanics, i.e., punctuation, comma rules, etc? I know there's a free grammar program, but I can't remember the name and whether or not it covers mechanics. thanks!! lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue G in PA Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Not sure if it covers mechanics but the free grammar program I know of is KISS grammar. I used it for part of last year for my ds9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestof3 Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 It's kind of a pain to navigate, but I used this a lot with my eldest when he was younger. http://www.rhlschool.com/english.htm Are there any online resources I can use to help with writing mechanics, i.e., punctuation, comma rules, etc?

peacefully Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Grammarland is old-fashioned, but still a fun little narrative way to learn parts-of-speech. http://books.google.com/books?id=iXgSAAAAIAAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=grammarland&hl=en&ei=5_NUTPDlOo66sQPU97XZAg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CDAQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q&f=false Scott Foresman Grammar allows you to download free pdfs of their workbooks. http://www.sfreading.com/resources/ghb.html Hope this helps!

savmom Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Here are some free workbooks for 6th-12th grade. They cover grammar, usage, mechanics, vocabulary, spelling, & composition. There is a section in each book with rules & definitions (the books are about 350 pages long or so). Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcross222 Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Thank you for this thread! I was just bumming about the Scott Foresman free workbooks not continuing past 6th grade yesterday! Now thanks to Savmom, I have free grammar through 12th grade! Yipee!!!:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
