My five and seven year old are going through this first unit, and they enjoy the examples and pictures. We use narration rather than writing at this early stage. We are teaching grammar basics only, as they love playing MadLibs games, and acting out Charades- basic grammar is often needed...

I had read reviews and felt I understood what to expect. It may be a little old fashion for some but I felt that worked to our advantage in reading.(sometimes the classics can be hard to follow) I bought this as a supplement for my 4th grader(whom I had just removed from public school) and I plan on using it over and over for at least a few more years. We play with the lessons sometimes shorting the amount of sentences, splitting the assignment into two days, or having an oral lesson. We think it is a wonderful addition to our studies.

All three of our children enjoyed using this material. The second day they wanted to do grammar. It is a come along side and learn together material. They are learning, enjoying learning and enjoying each other. I am excited to find such a material. We will see how day four goes.

This book seems to be written for girls - most of the pictures are very, very feminine and the lettering on the cover is pink. My daughter liked this book and loved the pictures! However, my son did not like it at all. He felt like he was using a "girl's book" and was totally not interested. I think it made him dislike grammar even more than he did before!

Excellent grammar book! I used it with my 5th-grade daughter to reinforce concepts not well taught at public school. Definitively not boring compared to the dry, lifeless workbooks.

I purchased Simply Grammar as an alternative to a fill-in-the-blank workbook. I thought that this gentler approach would result in greater retention of the material. Instead, I found that my children were often confused by the awkward and antiquated wording in the lessons. I believe the concept of Simply Grammar is good, but the book would be more useful if it were written in a more modern style.

The title is enticing but the content is anything but simple. Difficult to follow and quite boring, to say the least. We will continue to shop for an effective teaching tool for our "right-brained" daughter.

The beauty of this primer is in its simplicity. Pick up the book and read the lessons to your child using the "script" provided. You and your child will not be unnecessarily confused or bogged down by extras found in other workbook-based grammar programs. If you allow your child to answer the questions orally, the concepts will present themselves more naturally because your child already uses spoken grammar in the day-to-day speech.

I was very disappointed in this book. It is hard to follow and very boring for any age. I was bored with it and so was my daughter. The wording used in the book is confusing. I would not recommend this book for homeschoolers.

This fine book is a must for parents who want to help their kids learn English grammar. Dont count on schools to do all the teaching but get involved and learn with your kids from a book which is laid out neatly and easy to go through. I was impressed at it's simplicity and information which is presented clearly.
