Paradigm English Grammar SkillsParadigm English Grammar Skills is one of my favorite courses to teach grammar and writing. It covers grammar basics and provides plenty of exercises for reinforcement. of the lessons. Instruction on parts of speech, word usage, capitalization, punctuation, and other topics you expect to see in a grammar is included. In addition, as with all of the Paradigm Accelerated Curriculum, every lesson provides motivation with virtues and principles. The Paradigm English curriculum is a 4-year comprehensive English program.Update 06-01-11One of our sons is finishing the last chapter of this grammar course as I write this. He likes the Paradigm approach because of the organized format. Across their curriculum the text booklets and activity booklets are set up in a similar manner. He showed me all the grammar text and activity booklets he has finished and said it feels great to see what he has accomplished. Then he asked me about using a Paradigm science course next year. When they ask for more, it is a happy homeschool mom moment! Update 06-06-13Our last homeschooler completing English Grammar Skills. As I help him and grade his work, I'm reminded why I use this grammar course. My mother was an English teacher--old school if you know what I mean. The daughter who was the first to use this course was also the first to be praised by her English teacher grandmother as knowing her grammar. My youngest son is enjoying it now that we have come to an agreement. He said he would work faster if he could do the easy exercises orally. It's because he is the computer tech guy and dislikes writing by hand. We compromised, he sped up, and both of us are happy. "The English Grammar Skills course is designed to equip students with a strong understanding of the eight parts of speech, grammar , and writing skills. The course consists of five, saddle-stitched chapters in an 8 1/2 x 11 inch size magazine format." "The five chapters of text are supplemented with five corresponding activity books that guide the student through the lessons." Paradigm English Grammar Skills
