Shurley Grammar
Teaching Grammar the Easy Way
Shurley Grammar is the only grammar curriculum that I can recommend with good conscience. In my 16 years of homeschooling my four children,
this is the easiest grammar that we ever used.
Why do I like
Shurley Grammar? - It's easy to use. The book is divided up into five weekly lessons. You simply follow along and do lesson one on Monday, lesson two on Tuesday, etc.
- It has clear instructions. Each lesson has a "teacher's script" that works as a grammar lesson plan and makes teaching grammar easy. You know exactly what to say. If you have the time, you can read over the "script" before teaching your children, if not, just read as you go.
- It's fun. This grammar program has "jingles" for the kids to sing for each part of speech. When your children are young and just beginning to learn grammar - this is great. They love it.
Now, if your children are older, I would just skip singing the jingles - they aren't going to like it. They will still get the benefit of this program and become "grammar experts" without singing the jingles. - It is logical. Shurley Grammar is taught logically and systematically. I think this is one of the many reasons this is such a great program. It just makes sense and everyone "gets it" - the kids and the moms.
When I first started teaching my children - I didn't know what a preposition was. Now I can classify sentences like an expert. More importantly - so can my children.
