 Good Grammar Taught Well September 15, 2008
This is a huge workbook! It has a lot of review. After initially covering a part of grammar: preposition, noun, pronoun, adjective, adverb, conjunction, interjection, the student is then given a lot of practice.
At the beginning of the book Wands Phillips states that the "student must learn the 50 prepositions... memorized" I absolutely agree. No more guess work with what word is a preposition. There are 53 in this workbook but if you take them one letter at a time they will not be hard to learn, " about, above, across after, against, along, amid, among, around, at, atop." When those are learned you move on to the B's.
Phillips reasoning is that if you can identify prepositions and eliminate all prepositional phrases in a sentence, you will be able to identify subject, verb, direct object etc. a lot easier because you, for example, won't be confusing a beginning prepositional phrase with being the subject of the sentence.
Mastery is the key to grammar and this book helps you get there.

We use this for my homeschooled 7th grader's grammar course. Similar to prior easy grammar books but slightly more advanced.
