Author(s): Karen AndreolaNumber of pages: 178 pagesCopyright: 1993ISBN: 9781889209012Publisher: Charlotte Mason Research and Supply Co.Binding: Softcover Subject(s): GrammarGrade / Age level: Grades 6-8ElementaryResource Type: TextReview: A very simple and lovely grammar book based on the text First Grammar Lessons written by Charlotte Mason in 1928. The text is illustrated with charming 19th century drawings which are used within the text for exercises such as: completing sentences and making sentences of certain types and telling stories using certain parts of speech. The text is intended for fourth grade and up (the Charlotte Mason method recommends waiting until then for formal grammar studies - focusing on reading and narration earlier). It is simple enough to be used as a "lap-text" for the earlier grades as well (for mother and child to work on together in an informal manner). I found the explanations to be very good at helping children understand what the different parts of speech are used for.Reviewed by: Alicia Van HeckeFirst reviewed: 2-3-01
