For the past fewe years I've used one of the Easy Grammar books for the oldest of the two sons I am still homeschooling. We have been through the 3/4, the 5/6 and are now on Easy Grammar Plus.   I really like them; enough so that this year I purchased the second grade book for my youngest.  I wanted something quick, easy, and fairly painless for our son to teach him capitalization, punctuation, and maybe some easy sentence structure.  This has more than met my expectations.  It is supposed to be consumable but I also use it to practice penmanship as I don't allow him to write in his book.  (Bummer, mom sure can be mean.)

So far there are only 4 exersizes per lesson with one lesson per day..  About mid way through the year it will change to 5 and continue with that many through to the end of the year.  It always starts with an exersize in capitalization.  The next concerns punctuation.  It always finishes with an exersize in sentence combinning.  This was rather difficult for my son in the first few lessons but now after two weeks, he's an old pro.  Finally, exersize three (and later four as well) rotate through things like alphabetizing, sentence parts(subject, prepositions, nouns, verbs,etc.), prefixes/roots/suffixes, synonyms/antonyms/homonyms, and much more. 

When possible I like curriculum that is quick, easy and gets the job done.  This program deffinately meets that goal.  In a world in which not everything is as advertised, the Easy Grammar system is.  I very much appriciate that.  It is one of my curriculum purchases that I have been able to use not only thoughout the year without having to tweek it, but that I keep coming back to year after year.
