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! Regular review is built into each year of work. The Yellow
Key provides answers, as well as detailed explanations, for every
student exercise. Use alongside the Core Instructor Text for a full
year (and beyond!) of grammar study.
Diagramming a sentence shows you how it is (or isn't) working, and
unlocks the door to clear, balanced writing. This handbook from
Susan Wise Bauer, author of Grammar for the Well-Trained Mind,
walks students through the rules of diagramming, from the simplest
sentences to the most complex. Its simple instructions allow you to
learn at your own pace, without an instructor. Full of
easy-to-understand example diagrams, colour-coded for quick
recognition, this guide will be a trusted reference tool in your
home, office or school for years to come. For ages 13 and Up.
