Does Anyone Have Any Recommendations On A Good English Grammar Program For Grades 6 Adn 8?
Posted on December 24th, 2009
I have two sons whom I home school and I am trying to find a decent English Grammar book or program that will be useful for both ages. Thanks.

December 24th, 2009 at 8:17 pmI also recommend Easy Grammar! We switched to it last year and my kids asked me “Why didn’t we use this in the first place?”. They love it! It’s very simple and easy to understand and it doesn’t take very long to do. Once you complete the 7-12th grade book, you can just do their Daily Grams program which only takes a couple of minutes.

December 24th, 2009 at 8:34 pmtry Jensen’s Grammar:http://www.howtotutor.com/grammar.htm
or Easy Grammar:http://www.easygrammar.com/index2.html
both are highly rated in the homeschool community. HTH!
[We actually use Shurley English, but I don't know if that's one you can start mid-stream ... we started it in 1st grade.]http://www.shurley.com/hs/index.jsp?go=p… -

December 24th, 2009 at 8:50 pmI second the recommendation for Easy Grammar – they have a book specifically designed to start with junior/senior high students (I think it’s Easy Grammar Plus).
Another very excellent program is Rod and Staff’s English series. If you are going to use it, make sure you start at least a year or so BELOW their grade level, as it is rather advanced.
We were using Easy Grammar (ever since we started) and I decided to shake things up and switch to Rod and Staff, since I’d heard so many good things. I switched back to Easy Grammar after about 5 lessons because I thought it was the better program – R&S was just too much work/writing (I have two boys and so writing is a struggle, even if it is copywork). -

December 24th, 2009 at 10:03 pmI taught two daughters thru high school…and they did very well with the A Beka Curriculum for Spelling and Grammar & Composition.

They did not like their Anthology Readers, we choose different literature books for that. -
