wehave8 201 Report post Posted March 31 If you were to do just one more shot of grammar in high school for review, and to make sure everything was covered, what would you use? Pam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
perkybunch 2,451 Report post Posted March 31 I was pretty happy with Abeka's 11th grade grammar offerings. It used a Handbook of Grammar and Composition and a Workbook. I picked and chose what we went over, but it was good and worthwhile. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RootAnn 10,410 Report post Posted March 31 I'd double-duty it and use Erica Metzler's ACT English book (or a corresponding SAT Metzler book). She covers it in context plus you get test prep. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hollyhock2 366 Report post Posted April 1 I would get one of the Easy Grammar Ultimate books and go through that. I tried that this year with my 9th grader, actually, and it ended up being that he really didn't need it, but I did like the book. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just a heads-up that these have rule reminders in them, but they are not instructional. They are more application-based. We use them too, and I do like them, but if you are looking for instruction, they will probably only partially fit the bill. If you want instruction and targeted exercises by topic, maybe one of the Warriner's grammar books? It's a traditional textbook, but it's thorough. You can buy older editions online for just a few bucks. I don't know as much about the setup of the newer books and computer-based options available from Holt/Rainbow Resource, but they do sell some version of Warriner's as well. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charlotteb 163 Report post Posted April 4 I'm using "Grammar for the Well-Trained Child" by SWB with DD this year. I highly recommend it, very thorough! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think I tried it too young (for mine, anyway). It was too much marking abbreviations for them. (but thanks for the suggestion) Pam 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
