Core Instructor Text<\/i><\/a>, make up a full year of\u00a0Grammar for the Well-Trained Mind:<\/i><\/b> a complete course that takes students from basic definitions (\u201cA noun is the name of a person, place, thing, or idea\u201d) through advanced sentence structure and analysis, all the grammar skills needed to write and speak with eloquence and confidence.<\/p>\n This innovative program combines the three essential elements of language learning: understanding and memorizing rules (prescriptive teaching), repeated exposure to examples of how those rules are used (descriptive instruction), and practice using those rules in exercises and in writing (practical experience).<\/p>\n
Each year, parents and teachers go through the dialogue, rules, and examples in the\u00a0Core Instructor Text<\/i>; students follow along in the\u00a0Workbook<\/i>. This repetition solidifies the concepts, definitions, and examples in the student\u2019s mind.<\/p>\n
There are four\u00a0Workbooks<\/i>. Each\u00a0Workbook<\/i>\u00a0contains the same rules and examples, but four completely different sets of exercises and assignments, allowing students to develop a wide-ranging knowledge of how the rules and examples are put to use in writing.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Workbook<\/i>\u00a0comes with its own\u00a0Key<\/b><\/i>, providing not only answers, but also explanations for the parent\/instructor, and guidance as to when the answers might be ambiguous (as, in English, they often are).<\/p>\n
All of the rules covered, along with the repeated examples for each, are assembled for ongoing reference in\u00a0The Grammar Guidebook<\/i>. Every step of the sentence diagramming process is gathered for reference, along with illustrations, in\u00a0The Diagramming Dictionary<\/i>. These will become the student\u2019s indispensable guide to writing through high school, into college and beyond.<\/p>\n\nStep-by-step instruction takes students from the most basic concepts through advanced grammatical concepts such as modal and hortative verbs and multiple functions of noun clauses.<\/li>\n Extensive diagramming exercises reinforce the rules and help technical and visual learners to understand and use the English language effectively.<\/li>\n Each step of the diagramming process is illustrated and thoroughly explained to the student.<\/li>\n Text for examples and exercises are drawn from great works of literature, as well as from well-written nonfiction texts in science, mathematics, and the social sciences.<\/li>\n *Regular review is built into each year of work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nOne of four non-sequential workbooks, each containing new exercises that allow students to practice and apply the grammar principles under study.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
