Amy loves Bud Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Junior Analytical Grammar would be a great resource for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJinLOCA Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Rod & Staff teaches diagramming extremely well - we used it for all our kids and it was very clear and thorough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urban mama Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 these are some great resources! I'm having fun checking them out! Will definitely be getting something for summerschool. The best part is that I've been talking it up enough that all three kids are begging for diagrams!! Even dh is intrigued :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidsnbooks8 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I am going to try this text.:) http://www.amazon.com/Rex-Barks-Diagramming-Sentences-Made/dp/1889439355/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1300576105&sr=1-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nansk Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I posted this yesterday in another forum... I recently found these two sites with diagramming how-to: Sentence Diagramming and Guide to Diagramming Sentences. I am new to diagramming, though, so I cannot say how much material these two sites cover and whether they can be used for a standalone unit study. HTH in some way..

Mrs Mungo Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 The First Whole Book of Diagrams, by Mary Daly Excellent resource! :iagree: 1000% (and I've looked at and/or used every program mentioned in this thread so far, except the Rex Barks book) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara R Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I asked this question on the Curriculum Board a few months ago, and the recommendation was Growing with Grammar. I've started with my kids, and it seems very well suited for afterschooling: brief lessons (about 15 minutes), self teaching if the child can read, and 107 lessons for the year. That means we can cover a year over the summer if we do two lessons per day, which is doable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are trying to do FLL but it is so repetitive he get's annoyed. And at this point I don't really need him to do the memorization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urban mama Posted April 14, 2011 Author Share Posted April 14, 2011 growing with grammar looks pretty interesting. Where would I start though. If I have a 4th, going into 5th grader who knows no diagramming, could I start him out in GWG level 4 or 5 without him getting lost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara R Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I don't really know, but I bet the people on the Curriculum board could answer that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
