Caroline4kids Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I saw something on this board once and now I can't find it again. I believe it was a yellow book and there were various pictures used to designate the parts of a sentence. I thought it might have the word "easy" in it but I can't remember. Anyone know what that was. The one who posted about it said it was a great program, but that they didn't market their site well and could be hard to find.

birchbark Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Could it be the Sentence Family? http://www.welltrainedmind.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26322&highlight=sentence+family Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caroline4kids Posted April 5, 2009 Author Share Posted April 5, 2009 Well, that is a really neat link, but not quite what I was looking for. I am pretty sure it was a yellow book and they had little pictures that labeled parts of the sentence. I was thinking there was a picture of a vice maybe? It was a curriculum for very visual learners. Anyone else have any ideas? I know I saw it first here, but can't remember where. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caroline4kids Posted April 5, 2009 Author Share Posted April 5, 2009 Please? I know I saw it here. Someone said the lady didn't market her curriculum very well (to this I can attest after a LONG search) , but that is was a great alternative to diagramming. I have been searching for hours.:confused: Yellow book, used little pictures to label things. Maybe the word "mechanic" was in it? I remember a picture of a vice.

swellmomma Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I have been searching for things it might be since it doesn't ring a bell. Here is some that I came up with maybe one if right, or maybe they help you remember the actual program The Humpties which uses egg shaped characters Grammar with a giggle ? If something else pops up I will let you know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPan Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Well Mary Daly's Complete Book of Diagraming has a yellow cover, but I don't know if it has a hammer? It's just traditional diagramming arranged artfully and in groupings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usetoschool Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Just so you know you aren't crazy, I remember the same thing. It wasn't that long ago and I can't remember anything about it to save my life, or to help you. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't that long ago and I can't remember anything about it to save my life, or to help you. Sorry. Thanks! I needed that. I can be like a dog on a bone when I am looking for something and I was beginning to think I had imagined it. :001_smile: I am trying to find something fairly fun for grammar. We do it in seasons and one is scheduled for this summer-- my own scheduling OCD is coming out. I thought I had save the link, but I can't find it.

Pemberley Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Hi, You are talking about the Humpties Grammar. http://www.lamppostpublishing.com/languagegrammarpage2.htm#The_Humpties_~_Builder_Books I have used Humpties to teach parts of speech and loved it. I had accidentally stumbled onto that book and when we were finished, I was bummed that we couldn't go on. I didn't know that there were other Humpties books! They are a little hard to find, but I hope the link above will help in your quest. I'd love to hear about your experience if you opt to use them.
