Likes: First off my son started the program and said "I love grammar!" That in itself is a great recommendation. There are simple to follow instructions for teaching. Each day builds on what was learned previously so there is a lot of review and practice.

I like the prepositional method whereby the prepositional phrases are deleted. It helps the student to identify the parts of the sentence. I can see this will be of great value when my children get old enough to start dissecting Bible passages to understand them better. That is my main goal in teaching grammar! The lessons are also short so it does not get tedious.

Dislikes: As with most grammar programs it takes grammar out of context of writing. So while the 'rules' are learned they do not always transfer to their writing.
