About The Prepositional Approach

Let me assure you that Easy Grammar is as the name implies---EASY!  Both teachers and parents have shared that, in teaching the easily presented concepts found in Easy Grammar materials, they, too, have learned!

The Easy Grammar method uses a unique approach.  Students memorize and learn prepositions first. The text includes many fun pages that will help students to learn and identify prepositions. Then in a step-by-step manner, students learn to identify prepositional phrases and to delete them from the sentence, making it easier to determine the subject, verb, adjective, or other parts of a sentence.

In using this process, students are actively engaged in learning. They love the "hands on" manner, and the process makes them successful.

This approach is used periodically throughout the text in order for students to understand other concepts such as direct objects, subject/verb agreement, etc.

Another important difference in Easy Grammar is that concepts are introduced and reviewed throughout the school year.  In addition, reviews and cumulative reviews are provided along the way to help insure mastery learning.

The Easy Grammar Series also includes units of study in capitalization, punctuation, sentence types, friendly letters, and more.

Daily Grams: Guided Review Aiding Mastery Skills are also available and recommended.   Providing ample daily review of concepts, these are extremely effective in helping to insure mastery.  There are 180 reviews per book, and each page contains capitalization review, punctuation review, grammar/dictionary skills, and sentence combining for improved writing skills.

The Easy Grammar: Grades 3 and 4 curriculum, introducing just 28 prepositions, uses the prepositional approach to grammar.  It includes grammar concepts, capitalization, punctuation, sentence types, and other concepts introduced in an easy format. Unit reviews, unit tests, cumulative reviews, and cumulative tests are also included.
