KellyMama Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 We've used Easy Grammar this year and enjoyed it. I'm on the fence about if we'll use it again next year, but if we do, I'd still like to introduce my 5th grader to diagramming. Can anyone recommend a relatively simple program that introduces diagramming? A quick Amazon search turned up a plethora of options, but I don't know if any of them are good or not - too many choices!! :001_huh: I'm thinking of a daily worksheet approach perhaps? I'm a writing major, so I'm happy to teach it to her, I just need something to reinforce it and offer her an opportunity to practice it.

Carrie-txmama2six Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 CLE has a diagramming workbook. The diagrams start out basic but get more difficult as you go through the workbook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candid Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 As an alternative to Easy Grammar take a look at Growing with Grammar. It is similar to Easy Grammar in approach but includes diagramming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
