Grammar for the WellTrained Mind Core Instructor Text Years 14 A Complete Course for Young Writers Aspiring Rhetoricians and Anyone Else Who Works - Grammar for the Well-Trained Mind
Author: Susan Wise Bauer, Audrey Anderson

Teach English grammar thoroughly, effectively, and with confidence?no matter what your background or experience! The central teaching text in a four-level grammar program that gives students a soup-to-nuts grasp of the English language, Grammar for the Well-Trained Mind: Core Instructor Text, Years 1-4 contains all teaching scripts and examples ... more »for a full course in English grammar and mechanics.Grammar for the Well-Trained Mind 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 Student Workbook. This repetition solidifies the concepts, definitions, and examples in the student?s mind.

There are four Student Workbooks, one for each year. Each Student 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 Student 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.

The Core Instructor Text provides not only rules and examples, but scripted dialogue that makes it possible for any parent or teacher to use the program effectively, along with instructor notes that thoroughly explain ambiguities and difficulties.

Scripted lessons make it possible for any parent or teacher to use the program effectively.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. All diagrams are thoroughly explained to the instructor/parent.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.Core Text is designed to be used effectively with students from fifth grade through high school, regardless of background.The program is easily customizable to each student?s strengths and weaknesses.
