Great first grammar!,
By
This review is from: First Language Lessons For The Well-trained Mind Level 1-2nd Ed (Paperback)
This is a wonderful first grammar for adults or kids! My children loved the mix of picture narration, story narration, grammar nuts & bolts, and written work. The lessons are short (less than 20 minutes) and interesting and move very gradually from one step to the next. The only difficulty for Canadian students is that the entire book is geared for American children, so addresses, place names, and units of measurement need changing by the teacher. There is very little in-depth written work, so beginning readers/writers are very comfortable with the lessons. The level will be finished in 9 months if there are 2 or 3 lessons a week. There is almost no pre-lesson planning or prep for the teacher and the scripted lessons allow the teacher ease of presentation. We love The Well-Trained Mind series of curriculum!

English is not our first language. For the instructor this book gives good grammar base in a fun way. As first English teaching and learning approach we love to work with it.

Simple and Effective,

This review is from: First Language Lessons For The Well-trained Mind Level 1-2nd Ed (Paperback)
I purchased these lessons to use with my 1st and 2nd grade daughters. We had not done any formal grammar lessons so I started them both together at this first level. They enjoy working through the lessons together. This is a teacher workbook. Students do not write in this book so it can be used again and again with multiple children. Any writing that needs to be done requires lined paper. There are 100 lessons in all. Each lesson is a separate lesson which builds on the previous one. This allows you to work at whatever pace you want. We work through the lessons 2 days out of the week completing 2 lessons at one sitting, which is very doable, the lessons are quite short. Your child will gain a solid understanding of nouns, pronouns, action verbs, abbreviations, beginning capitalization, and the four main types of sentences. All throughout there are poems to memorize and narration and copywork exercises to go through. I am very grateful to have found a simple and effective way to go through the basics of grammar with my young ones in a way that is not overwhelming but actually interactive and enjoyable.

repetitive, but enjoyable,

This review is from: First Language Lessons For The Well-trained Mind Level 1-2nd Ed (Paperback)
I hesitated to order this after seeing other reviewers complain about it being repetitive. I am glad I took a chance. There is a lot that repeats, but in a reinforcing way. The lessons are a great supplement to the other things we are doing. It is a little too scripted for my personal taste, but workable and I do enjoy the precise scripting when I have not had a lot of time to prep our lessons for the day. Also, my boys seem to enjoy the lessons and that makes a big difference. It is a great value too since it is not a workbook to write in, you can use it for more than one child.

Lessons are short and simple, but very well done,
By Becky Forbes - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: First Language Lessons For The Well-trained Mind Level 1-2nd Ed (Paperback)
I ordered this book based on a recommendation from a friend that had also been homeschooling. I used this book AS WELL AS another language arts program for phonics. We really enjoyed using this book. It only takes a few minutes to go through a lesson, and there is a lot of review to help remember the concept that has been taught. I just finished this book with my Kindergarten age daughter and she can explain what a noun, verb, and different sentence types are. My daughter enjoyed memorizing the poems, doing the activities, and learning the lessons. It is basic English put in a simple format that 5 year olds can easily understand and use. I will definitely be going on to use level 2 with her.
