If you're like me, you sometimes worry if your children are going to graduate with good grammar skills. Do we write good or write well? Do I lie down or do I lay down. Let's see, now I lay me down to sleep... Oh, yes, it is lay. Or, is it?
Grammar is just one of those HUGE, exhausting topics that many of us parents worry about when it comes to our little darlings. Will he be well spoken at his first job interview? Will she be able to write an excellent research paper for her senior thesis? And, if you are a home educator, as I am, you may feel, well, responsible. UGH! What to do!
Here's one idea: Take a deep breath and remember that it is highly unlikely that your child will be asked to diagram a sentence at a job interview. Here's another idea, put your mind at ease with "A Basic Course in Grammar" by Little Darlings Press. The comprehensive, easy-to-use curriculum unit will be available in May, 2012 at currclick.com (see link on this page). Created for upper grade school and middle school age students, this curriculum will provide or reinforce basic grammar skills that will provide a foundation for other grammar topics as well as encourage good writing skills.
