Analytical Grammar

This is our first year homeschooling and I tried to find curriculum that would support a "classical light" approach. I looked at several other grammar products, but was impressed that Analytical Grammar encourages a parent to not 'over teach' grammar. In fact, for our 7th grade son, we will use only 10 short lessons and will be done by Thanksgiving.

I'm also impressed that this curriculum teaches sentence diagramming, which is how I learned grammar in high school. My son is a visual-spatial, gifted learner. Thus far, I have found that sentence diagramming helps him visualize grammar and sentence structure which, in turn, helps him understand and enjoy the subject more. The course curriculum is very robust and could be easily taught at a slower pace, as necessary.
