Description:
"The most astounding and effective grammar program available. Nothing else compares." (Quote from Veritas Press catalog, 2005-2006, pg. 17) When recently introduced to a Christian school at the 3rd grade level, parents were finding their 3rd graders helping their junior high aged siblings with their grammar homework! In this class your child will learn grammar rules, diagramming sentences, vocabulary, writing, sentence structure and more. Your child will work hard but the results will be worth it.

Description:
This class is for the student who took the Shurley English class last year at Heritage or who has had Shurley English previously. As the next Shurley level has much review and not many new concepts we will spend more time writing and expanding vocabulary by learning Greek and Latin Roots. I will be using the Institute for Excellence in Writing curriculum as well as English from the Roots Up. We will of course keep our grammar skills sharp by classifying sentences and daily grammar review with Daily Grams. Please keep your Student Workbook level 5 from last year as this will be used for reference. You will not be buying the Student Workbook for level 6.

Required Materials:
Shurley English Practice Booklet, Level 6, $8.00. Can be ordered at www.shurley.com or by phone at (800) 566-2966.

Daily Grams Grade 6. $19.25 (includes answers in the back) or $11.50 (just the workbook without the answers) I recommend you buy the workbook that includes the answers in back as I will be asking you to grade the pages and letting me know how your child did. These can be purchased from: www.rainbowresource.com or by phone at (800) 841-3456.
