Grammar is not just knowing what the parts of speech are, it's knowing how to use them. You'll see.

When learning how to use the parts, the key word is "Function." I'll explain that one of these days.

About Grading High School Papers

Your children are getting savvy between the ears in the teen years and when you grade their papers, "This stinks." is not a valid critical criticism. I'm speaking from experience. Your kids will need to know exactly why it stinks in grammatical detail and "Er, I don't know, it just doesn't seem right " doesn't work either. Homeschool teacher, you know what that means.

English Handbook

english handbookI recommend this book. It is called English Handbook for Christian Schools and it's linked to Amazon. I love this book so much that I bothered to upload an image for it a couple of years ago. Look at the name under the image at Amazon, Donna Young, that's me. You can pay full price for the book or buy a used one for pennies. I have two copies of it and I used it for my children's high school grammar in conjunction with Jensen's Format Writing. Maybe someday I'll write about that.
