Is there a grammar program that takes the parent by the hand like MUS for math???

[MommyInTraining]

I am having trouble with Queen Language Lessons just giving my child a sentence and then expecting me to know whether they have it correct. I think I may need a program that teaches ME grammar along with my child!

You can try the free Kiss Grammar site. The site is a bit hard to navigate, but there are workbooks available for the first few levels.

You could probably contact Queen's if you have any trouble with a lesson. I have asked questions about products before and had a very good response from Sandi Queen. A couple of ideas for other programs would be All-in-one-English (recommended by MFW), Analytical Grammar or Junior Analytical Grammar, or Easy Grammar. HTH

Don't know which level you're looking for, but FLL3 is open and go, scripted and your book will have the answers. It's very gentle, easy to use. We're enjoying it.

Winston Grammar has very clear instructions and and answer key for all the work.

I also like the ease of use of Winston Grammar!!!

I was also going to say KISS. The answer key has every word of the sentance marked so when they pick the wrong word for a complement, you can say "Oh that can't be the complement, it is part of a prepositional phrase."

I love Winston Grammar. It explains it well and has an anser key. I learned stuff I didn't know and remember stuff I'd forgotten.

I would suggest FLL. If your oldest has not done much formal grammar, she could probably do FLL 3 if you don't want to wait for FLL 4. My 9dd did FLL 3 last year and then went into BJU English 5 (FLL was not finished or we would have used it...BJU 4 was too much review of what we did in FLL 3). My youngest has used FLL from the beginning and I am seeing a major difference in his abilities compared to my oldest. I really wish I would have stuck with FLL 1/2 for my oldest. I just can't say enough good things about it!!

 

When they finish FLL 4 they should be ready to go into Junior Analytical Grammar, which we also love!!!

My son was using FLL 3 when I set it aside to give him the time to work on the Queen book. When he is done with it (around Christmas, I'm thinking), I intend to go back to FLL 3 but to continue with the next Queen book as a supplement. He really liked FLL 3 and was doing great with it.

 

FLL 3 is very easy to teach. The lessons are laid out very clearly.

My older two use Growing with Grammar. It's easy to use. My degree is in linguistics, though.... My middle child is using FLL1 which is scripted.

 

Since FLL is scripted it may be easier for you....

Another recommendation for the FLL series. It is totally scripted and gives you all of the answers. It is also very thorough but doesn't take a lot of time each day.

I am surprised no one has mentioned Rod and Staff!

That was my first thought...

I saw your posts last evening but didn't have time to reply.

 

Rod and Staff Grammar is VERY clear. The teacher's guide contains all the answers. The teaching is so clear- you should be able to figure it out just from the student book.

My son is really understanding his lessons. We do lessons every other day.

 

I also think that Growing with Grammar is very clear and very thorough. You can see samples on their website. You can also see samples of Rod and Staff at http://www.rodandstaffbooks.com

 

I am using Rod and Staff this year after successfully using FLL1/2 with my oldest. We are using Grade 3. It is going so well. We do almost all of it orally with some on the whiteboard/in the notebook. He does selected problems himself.

I just bought Grade 2 for my second grader as it is going so well!

 

I hope this helps!
