Designed to accompany the Grammar for the Well-Trained Mind
program, this Comprehensive Handbook of Rules assembles into one
handy reference work all of the principles that govern the English
language-from basic definitions ("A noun is the name of a person,
place, thing, or idea") through advanced sentence structure and
analysis. Each rule is illustrated with examples drawn from great
literature, along with classic and contemporary works of science,
history, and mathematics. Grammar for the Well-Trained Mind is an
innovative program that 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). Each year, parents
and teachers go through the dialogue, rules, and examples in the
Core Instructor Text; students follow along in the Student
Workbook. This repetition solidifies the concepts, definitions, and
examples in the student's mind. There are four Student Workbooks,
one for each year. Each Student Workbook contains 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. Each
Student Workbook comes with its own Key, 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). All of the rules covered, along with the repeated
examples for each, are assembled for ongoing reference in this
Comprehensive Handbook of Rules. Use Grammar for the Well-Trained
Mind to teach English grammar thoroughly, effectively, and with
confidence-no matter what your background or experience!
