5.0 out of 5 stars
Practically perfect in every way!,
By Sherri Graham (Carrying Place, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: First Language Lessons For The Well Trained Mind Lvl 3 Instructo (Paperback)
I purchased this grammar textbook and the workbook for my seven year old who is just starting grade three work. I have been pretty slack with grammar up until now so I though it might be a bit difficult. Some things that the child should know by now are skimmed over but it doesn't assume that the child knows a lot about grammar. It looks very thorough with sentence diagramming, memorization, and of course the expected grammar rules and definitions. I hate to admit it but I'm learning things as well. One more thing that I absolutely love is the paper, it's so thick, which is so nice for kids to write (and erase) on and the pages are perforated as well.I hate to gush, but I actually can't think of anything wrong with this book.

He's getting it,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: First Language Lessons For The Well Trained Mind Lvl 3 Instructo (Paperback)
We bought this after my first grader's successful results with the first book. It is systematic, comprehensive, and the language is not overly simplified. The author doesn't condescend to my third grader, a voracious reader who recognizes "dumbed down" speech and writing and is turned off by it. New material is presented in a no-nonsense, sequential manner, and as each new part of speech is studied, it is also diagrammed. My analytical son really likes that. The emphasis on dictation and narration was a useful surprise. I didn't realize he had a tough time summarizing until we encountered these lessons. This book both diagnosed and addressed weaknesses I didn't know he had due to his extremely high reading ability. I'm very pleased with this one. Note: I tried to use the teacher edition only, but it was a hassle. I broke down bought the workbook and it made things much easier.

child-friendly pacing,
By Lisa Bossi - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: First Language Lessons For The Well Trained Mind Lvl 3 Instructo (Paperback)
Four lessons into this curriculum, I'm very pleased that my reluctant 3rd grade homeschooler seems engaged and willing to move ahead. It feels properly paced for a child and the instructions for both teacher and student are incredibly clear. So far so good!

Sensational Language Arts Book,
By Love To School "Kaye" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: First Language Lessons For The Well Trained Mind Lvl 3 Instructo (Paperback)
I am a homeschooling granny and have tried numerous Language Arts Programs. Out of all the programs I have tried this is the best by far in my opinion. In addition to the 8 parts of speech this program also covers the following.Parts of a book, Initials, Titles of Respect, Punctuations, Direct/Indirect quotations, Diagramming of Sentences, Contractions, 6 Nonfiction Narration Exercises, 6 Poem Memorizations, Writing Letters, Dictionary Skills, Alphabetizing by first, second, and third letter, Syllables and phonetic spelling, Synonyms and antonyms (using a thesaurus)and Avoiding double negatives I would say this is a pretty comprehensive program. The only complaint I have about this programs is that in order to use it effectively. For variety I sometimes use worksheets from softbasics software and find that I will have more than enough materials to last two or more years |
