After writing about using Easy Grammar this morning I began thinking.  While Easy Grammar is a better fit we are really sick of pages and pages of grammar practice.  And, the more I push Tyler to memorize this stuff the more he hates it.  I think I will lighten up on the formal grammar lessons and implement a more literature based approach to this.  As I already mentioned we really like the Sonlight History, which is literature based.  Perhaps, we should try their Language Arts program and see if that helps. 

     Someone reminded me today of sentence diagramming.  We did this last year and didn't pick it up again this year.  I think the diagramming is a much more interesting way to learn sentence structure as it can be seen a puzzle and we will start that again along with the Sonlight program.
