Grammar for the Well-Trained Mind takes students from basic
definitions ("A noun is the name of a person, place, thing, or
idea") through advanced sentence structure and analysis-all the
grammar skills needed to write and speak with eloquence and
confidence. This innovative program 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 a
Workbook. This repetition solidifies the concepts, definitions, and
examples in the student's mind. There are four Workbooks, one for
each year. Each 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 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 the Comprehensive Handbook of
Rules. This will become the student's indispensable guide to
writing through high school, into college and beyond. The Core
Instructor Text provides not only rules and examples, but scripted
dialogue that makes it possible for any parent or teacher to use
the program effectively, along with instructor notes that
thoroughly explain ambiguities and difficulties. Scripted lessons
make it possible for any parent or teacher to use the program
effectively. Step-by-step instruction takes students from the most
basic concepts through advanced grammatical concepts such as modal
and hortative verbs and multiple functions of noun clauses.
Extensive diagramming exercises reinforce the rules and help
technical and visual learners to understand and use the English
language effectively. All diagrams are thoroughly explained to the
instructor/parent. Text for examples and exercises are drawn from
great works of literature, as well as from well-written nonfiction
texts in science, mathematics, and the social sciences. Regular
review is built into each year of work. Core Instructor Text is
designed to be used effectively with students from fifth grade
through high school, regardless of background. The program is
easily customizable to each student's strengths and weaknesses.
