5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice grammar program
Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2015

Be sure to buy the teacher guide-- I didn't know that! You read from the teacher book as the child reads along and does the exercises in his/her book. At first I didn't like this method at all. It seemed to condescend to the child. But when I asked my third grader, she said she likes the grammar lessons! So we kept going and eventually I came to like it too, very much so. We have both learned so much about the English language, parts of speech, and diagramming sentences. They don't teach this material in elementary schools this way anymore, but I do think it's important for developing strong writers and readers. We did not get through all 100 lessons this year but I think that's okay; it took me most of the school year to learn to do these lessons efficiently, and for my daughter to develop the maturity to focus through them. In addition to the grammar (parts of speech, diagramming sentences), there is dictation, memorization of passages of literature, extension activities, and optional follow-ups. In short lessons each day, I feel my daughter got so much information, and the way you keep coming back to review it, it's great for their retention. I'm glad for this program.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great workbook,painless lessons
Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2010

I wish I had purchased this last year. I know some things seem really basic in this book, and the repetition called for in the exercises may seem extreme - especially for a really bright (high IQ) child like mine. But this works! She is so smart that she doesn't LEARN HOW TO STUDY from other programs - this teaches her how to study! Also, you are free to skip some of the repetition if needed...I still like it because it teaches my child how to memorize things that can, in fact, be boring to her. I know homeschooling is suppose to be more interesting than school text books, but our kids need to learn that some parts of learning simply require committing facts to memory, even if we don't really find it very exciting. I have used Winston Grammar, which is very bare bones grammar...not a bad program, but it leaves a lot of details with blanket explanations, and I found myself (very skilled in English grammar- but from college days) struggling to explain the finer points to my daughter. I like First Language Lessons, and I also love, love , love having the lessons completely laid out for me!

5.0 out of 5 stars I like the simplicity of the lessons and the repetition of ...
Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2016

Been using these books for over a year starting with the Grade 1 and 2 combo book. I like the simplicity of the lessons and the repetition of them really gave my kids a great foundation for parts of speech. Now when they read they seek them out in sentences. Just started using this one and like the format with where they do the lessons in the workbook rather than in external notebooks. The lessons are simple but they are not as repetitious as the Grade 1 and 2 book so I tend to perform a review before I begin each class and the kids do enjoy it. I am amazed too how little ones can learn really long poems and remember them for a quite some time! A great book that has provided my kids with a wonderful start in grammar, writing, reading and spelling.

5.0 out of 5 stars Even better
Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2012

This is our 5th year using First Language Lessons. I have three children who have been homeschooled and all have used this curriculum. Our oldest is in college now and two younger siblings left in our school.

This is a fantastic book! It coincides perfectly with the teacher book. It has all the necessary written portions and even a place for the child to track their poem memorization and grammar rule memorization. Its laid out with day by day, week by week and makes anyone able to teach grammar, writing and memorization to their children. My favorite feature is the three hole punched pages which tear out beautiful and insert immediately into their grammar binders.

Even if you aren't familiar with the 'Well-Trained Mind' and their line of products, you won't be disappointed with this product.

Simple. Easy. No nonsense. Not too time consuming either. YouTube has good overviews of this program, if you want to look them up. Also, you do need the teacher's guide and the workbook. One will not work without the other.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Grammar Program for Homeschoolers
Reviewed in Canada on May 8, 2015

This program is an excellent introduction to grammar. I just bought the workbook for my third son and am excited to work through the program with him. My older sons have an excellent foundation in grammar because of using this series. Highly recommend it! Do be warned that the mom has to work one-on-one with this program. It takes us 15-20 minutes per lesson.

This is a well-planned, thorough grammar book for young children who are beginning to write independently. Each lesson is clearly laid out, it is repetitive but that helps to reinforce each point. As each lesson is short then the repetition is not tedious but helps the child remember the rule. My 7 year old is working through it easily and it is improving his spelling and sentence building skills.
