The Key, along with the accompanying Purple 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
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 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. This
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 the first of four
non-sequential workbooks, each containing new exercises that allow
students to practice and apply the grammar principles under study.
