Grades Used: 6th, & 8th
I used easy grammar plus for my 6th grader and 8th grader during the same year. I worked well with the grade gap and made my homeschool load much lighter. I used a smart phone app called a pdf scanner to scan the worksheet pages from my teacher book and then sent them to print 2 copies on my printer. Much easier than trying to hold a book on a copier.
Cons: None for me
Grades Used: 4th, 5th, & 6th
I came across Easy Grammar while searching for a grammar based curriculum to use with my son who was struggling in grammar in 6th grade (This was in 1998). I used the big purple book with him; I believe it was for 5th grade. The one concept that helped was that it taught prepositional phrases first. This made it easier for my son to find the subject of a sentence. I also liked the way the book introduced capitalization rules a few at a time so it wasn't too overwhelming for him to remember them all.
I used this curriculum with each of my other 4 children as well. I only had the teacher's edition and covered the answer side of the book. This worked well for us as each day these lessons did not take much time. Once they worked through this book, I moved them to Daily Grams.
Cons: none
Grades Used: 2nd, 4th, and 5th grade
Wanda Phillips does an absolute amazing job at making Grammar not only enjoyable, but not so overly time consuming that it could detract from the possible interest in English and Grammar that students might experience with other grammar books. My daughter and two eldest sons enjoyed the Easy Grammar books as well as the Daily Grams she sells on her site. Thanks SO much Wanda for producing such user friendly teaching materials that even us mom's can easily use with our children! These books have helped my children tremendously!
