Grammar for the Well-Trained Mind: Red Workbook, along with the
accompanying Key and the Core Instructor Text, make up a full year
of 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 non-sequential Workbooks. Students can pick up any of the
Workbooks and follow along. 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. The Red
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.
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 first of four non-sequential workbooks, each containing new
exercises that allow students to practice and apply the grammar
principles under study.
