The Key to Yellow Workbook gives clear, thoroughly-explained answers to all exercises in the Yellow 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 Yellow 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 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 practice and apply the grammar principles under study.

The Full Grammar Course provides everything that a student and parent or teacher will need for their first full year of grammar study, starting with the most basic definitions and progressing all the way through advanced sentence structure and analysis-all the grammar skills needed to write and speak with eloquence and confidence. Grammar for the Well-Trained Mind is an innovative, effective grammar program that combines repetition with fresh exercises with the goal of grammar mastery. Students can start with any of the four Workbooks and Keys (Blue, Purple, Red, or Yellow) because they contain the same examples and combine with the Core Instructor Text for repeated instruction. Each Workbook includes brand-new exercises to help students master even the most complex grammar principles; its corresponding Key provides detailed answers and explanations to those exercises. Get as far as you can with your student(s) in one year with one Workbook, and start again the following year with any other Workbook and Key (now available in bundled together for repeat buyers!). Included in this Bundle: The Core Instructor Text (Paperback) provides scripted dialogue for the instructor, along with notes to explain difficult concepts--four lessons per week, thirty-six weeks and regular review assignments. (No expertise required!) The Yellow Student Workbook contains explanations, rules, illustrations, and exercises for each lesson, with sentences and examples drawn from real published books--classic literature, science, history, and more. The Key to Yellow Workbook provides all answers to exercises, with explanations as needed. The Grammar Guidebook assembles into one handy reference work every rule and principle taught in the course. Each rule is illustrated with examples from classic and contemporary works of literature, science, history, and mathematics. This guidebook will become the student's indispensable guide through high school, into college and beyond. The Diagramming Dictionary organizes every diagramming skill covered in Grammar for the Well-Trained Mind into categories for easy reference--from basic subject/predicate layout through advanced sentence structure and analysis. Beautifully designed diagrams and color-coded examples walk students through how to place each and every part of the English sentence on the traditional diagramming framework.

Designed for instructors and students who have already used Grammar for the Well-Trained Mind (Purple, Red, or Blue workbooks) in previous years, and who thus already have the Core Instructor Text, Grammar Guidebook, and Diagramming Dictionary, this bundle includes only what you'll need to continue grammar instruction for another year: the Yellow Workbook and Key. The Grammar for the Well-Trained Mind series provides all the grammar skills needed to write and speak with eloquence and confidence. Start with any of the four Workbooks and Keys: Blue, Purple, Red, or Yellow. Each Workbook reviews the same grammar concepts with the same examples, but with brand-new exercises that allow students to practice and apply the grammar principles under study. Examples are based on great works of literature, as well as classic and contemporary works of science and history. Step-by-step instruction takes students from the most basic concepts through advanced grammatical concepts. 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 is drawn from actual published works, from English literature classics to modern masters. Learn your grammar from the greats!
