Grammar 5 and 6 Recommendations (7.27.10)

• Grammar 5 is a pre-requisite for Grammar 6.
• Our Grammar products sequence recommendation:
  • Start with Grammar Ace - it's a good introduction to the different "pieces" of grammar
  • Move on to Winston Grammar - Basic or Grammar 5
    • If you wish to have a structured Grammar piece as part of your program for more years in a row, begin with Winston and then move on to Grammar 5 the next year.
    • We believe that Grammar 5 has more in-depth, "we do the work for you" instruction than Winston Grammar.
  • Grammar 5 -
    • If someone has completed at least Winston Grammar - Basic and feels their child knocked it out of the park, they could do Grammar 6 next, but caution them that we will hit the ground running in both skill types and how many we cover at a time. Grammar 6 assumes you have completed Grammar 5 and therefore does not spend much time at all on nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc. The structure of the Activity Sheets is different as well and we don't allow much time to get used to the system. It will feel really hard compared to Winston Grammar - Basic. We would not recommend this option very often, if at all.
  • Grammar 6
  • Winston Grammar - Advanced

How would you determine that a student is ready for Grammar 5 as opposed to Grammar Ace?

• Review the Skills Matrices we posted online in the Grammar 5 & 6 samples. These tables show not only which skills we cover and when, but HOW we address them in a particular lesson.

Helpful descriptive phrases for these products.
Grammar 5 and Grammar 6 are strictly “grammar” programs. They do not contain additional writing assignments. In much the same way some think you learn “math” in “math class”, these programs teach the structure and the rules of our language, and the “why” words fit together the way they do in different kinds of writing. You could say this is the logical-mathematical approach to understanding our language (and starting to pick apart writing).
