As a homeschooling granny, I have tried many sources (Our Mother Tongue, Complete Book of Grammar & Punctuation, First Language Lessons for the Well Trained Mind and Painless Grammar) to name only a few. This book is tops, though it starts with prepositions as a teacher or student you can decide where to begin. This book breaks down the 8 parts of speech to their simplest parts for example under the nouns section, it shows you that nouns in a prepositional phrase can not be the subject. By crossing out the prepositional phrase you can narrow down what the subject of every sentence is. It teaches how to make a singular noun plural. When to add s or es. It gives you several days practice before moving on to new concepts and then provides ample review throughout the book. I originally bought this book to help my 9 & 10 year olds who were struggling with Langauge Arts now even my 6 year old tries to get in on the lessons. I'm buying her Daily Grams Review 2 & 3 so that she can feel like she is learning the same material. I highly recommend this book to anyone serious about learning or teaching Language Arts.
