Homeschoolfreebieoftheday.com has some great stuff let me tell you. A couple of weeks ago they did a .pdf book called "Grammar Land". The kids love it! Originally published in 1878 by Henry Holt and Company, it was written by M.L. Nesbitt under the original title of "Grammar in Fun for the Children of Schoolroom-Shire". Currently I am teaching with A2 (Accelerated Achievement) and we are using the McGuffy reader's. I like them because all four of my elementary school kids like the stories and understand the teaching method. Grammar Land was written in the same style as the McGuffy's so the kids really enjoy it. Put with that the Sentence Building Cards (nouns, pronouns, etc) and you have your basis for an in depth English Grammar teaching tool. I liken Grammar Land also to John Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress". Reason being is that in the subject of the lessons we are trying to teach become character's in the stories themselves. Understandably because this was written in a time where they didn't shelter children from harsh realities, I encourage you to read it first as a parent and decide if the story subject is something your child can comprehend. Let me know if you like it. ~jaimers~ |
