Write From … History

Late last year author, Kimberly Garcia, contacted and asked if we’d be interested in reviewing any of her books in the Write From History series. Did we ever! One look told me that my boys would enjoy them and I wasn’t mistaken at all. The books are wonderfully done and written with the homeschooler in mind.

Traditional English Sentence Style Helps Prepare Students for College-Level Composition

  Ask a college English professor and chances are he or she will tell you that most incoming freshmen are woefully unprepared for college-level compositions. Why?

Growing With Grammar Review

I consider finding a good grammar curriculum one of the important foundations for my kids. We have tried several different ones. Each one was good in their own ways but just not right for my kids. When I was introduced to Growing with Grammar (GWG) I decided to give it a try. I am so very glad that we did. It has made teaching grammar

A Gentle Approach to Grammar with Grammar Island

Grammar Island is part of Michael Clay Thompson’s Language Arts series.  (We’ve also been using Building Language this year, and have been so pleased!)  It is designed to be a gentle introduction to grammar for the elementary student.  Ironically, this “gentle” approach also introduces concepts that might be saved for middle and/or high school. The book is designed in such a way that the lessons
