Analytical Grammar
The Analytical Grammar curriculum helps students communicate more effectively by providing thoughtful instruction of English grammar. Rather than relying on memorization, this program uses activities that lead students to develop a genuine understanding of grammar. This is the newest version updated and made available in 2023.
What Makes Analytical Grammar Unique?
- Grammar is one part of a comprehensive language arts program. Studying grammar and mechanics helps us become better communicators.
- Like Math-U-See and Spelling You See, this program is designed to teach sequentially. Concepts are taught in a logical order, building on each other, for a complete understanding of grammar. No previous grammar studies needed!
- Easy-to-follow lessons make it easy for both students and teacher. Each level include helpful notes, exercises for students to practice, as well as answer keys.Activities, such as diagramming, help students see how the parts of sentences fit together.
- You don’t have to teach grammar all year long. Grammar is taught when students are ready, which allows them to master concepts and commit to memory without years of study.
