Just grammar to supplement ILL

[Evergreen Academy]

I have grammar questions in some form or another in the past, and here is another. I am using Intermediate Language Lessons with my two ds10 (4th grade), and I like the approach very much - love the type of writing and thinking it produces. However, I feel the need to supplement with grammar instruction both for standardized testing and to lay the ground for future grammar instruction. I have used a variety of materials for ds12 who finished ILL last year, but never found one that was "just right." :confused: We have used Easy Grammar, Evan Moore Grammar and Punctuation (nice, but light) and Wordsmith Apprentice (writing with some grammar).

 

I would much appreciate suggestions for a grammar program that is:

- simple, straightforward in its approach.

- doesn't include anything other than grammar - we have plenty of LA instruction in ILL and have our other bases covered in terms of spelling, vocab, etc.

- inexpensive - I have used most of my budget for this year and need to squeeze this in.

Thanks for any suggestions you can give!

Blessings,

We use Cozy Grammar with ILL. It's been a great combo.

It's a little pricey, but we've used it many times, sometimes just for DVD review.
