The Key to the Blue Workbook gives clear, thoroughly-explained
answers to all exercises in the Blue Workbook, one of four
non-sequential books in the Grammar for the Well-Trained Mind
series, providing detailed, well-designed exercises in the correct
use of English grammar. The Key, along with the accompanying Blue
Workbook and the Core Instructor Text, make up Grammar for the
Well-Trained Mind: a complete course that 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 programme combines the three essential
elements of language learning: understanding and memorising 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
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 Key to the
Workbooks provides 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 (soon
to be renamed as The Grammar Guidebook). Every step of the sentence
diagramming process is gathered for reference, along with
illustrations, in The Diagramming Dictionary. These will become the
student's indispensable guide to writing through high school, into
college and beyond. 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. Each step of the diagramming process
is illustrated and thoroughly explained to the student. 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. The Key accompanies one of four non-sequential workbooks,
each containing new exercises that allow students to practise and
apply the grammar principles under study.
