What Reviewers Say

Reviewers consistently praise Easy Grammar for its logic-based "prepositional approach," which simplifies sentence analysis by having students identify and cross out prepositional phrases first. Cathy Duffy, who includes the program in her "103 Top Picks," notes that this strategy makes finding the subject and verb much easier than traditional methods. The "identify and cross out" strategy is the program's hallmark, effectively reducing the "noise" in a sentence for students who struggle with standard grammar instruction. However, a common trade-off is that it deviates significantly from traditional instruction; families looking for classical sentence diagramming may find this approach too unconventional. While highly effective for building confidence in reluctant learners, it is strictly a grammar and mechanics program, meaning parents must look elsewhere for literature and composition.

How It Works

Each day, the student completes one to two pages in their workbook. The lesson typically begins with a brief explanation or list of rules at the top of the page, followed by practice sentences where the student identifies parts of speech. The parent's primary role is to review the student's work using the Teacher Edition, which contains the student pages with answers filled in. If using the "Daily Grams" supplement, the student spends an additional 5-10 minutes on a daily review sheet to maintain previously learned skills. The entire process generally takes 15 minutes or less per day using print workbooks.

Switching to This?

The publisher provides free placement tests on their website to help parents determine the appropriate level, as the program is mastery-based rather than strictly age-segregated. Families can easily start Easy Grammar mid-year because of its focused, incremental lessons. When switching from a curriculum like Shurley English or Rod and Staff, parents should expect a significant shift from jingles or diagramming toward the "prepositional first" elimination method.

How This Compares

Hake Grammar: Provides a much more rigorous, Saxon-style spiral review that includes vocabulary and writing, whereas Easy Grammar is strictly focused on grammar and mechanics. - Fix It! Grammar: Uses a story-based editing approach where students find errors in a continuous narrative, while Easy Grammar uses isolated practice sentences. - The Good and the Beautiful: An all-in-one ELA program that integrates grammar with literature, geography, and art, while Easy Grammar is a targeted supplement. - Analytical Grammar: Designed for older students to master grammar in short, intensive "seasons" rather than the steady year-over-year workbook approach of Easy Grammar. - Growing with Grammar: Follows a more traditional scope and sequence and includes traditional sentence structure exercises, lacking the unique prepositional-first strategy.
