Easy Grammar
Easy Grammmar Plus has been a hit so far with my 8th grade boys. Even my 9th grade daughter wanted to play Preposition Bingo with us. They were disappointed I hadn't pre-planned a prize for the winners. The sequencing of lessons begins with knowing and understanding the function of prepositions and prepositional phrases. Complex sentences are so much easier to parse once the prepositional phrases are crossed out.
This book is a wondeful review of all the punctuation, capitalization, and word usage skills learned the kids learned in the Daily Grams series.
The Easy Grammar Plus level is suitable for 7th-9th grade and provides a cumulative review of all basic grammar concepts.
