Scope and Sequence Easy Grammar Ultimate Series Grade 10
Publisher Description:
Example: Students first learn the difference between an independent clause and a dependent clause. Using understanding of this concept, students learn construction of fragments, sentences, and run-on and the structure of compound and complex sentences. However, mastery of dependent and independent clauses first is vital to the ensuing concepts. Other concepts are taught in this manner throughout.
Format:
- Capitalization teaching and application
- Punctuation teaching and application
- Grammar and other concept teaching and application
- Sentence Combining for improved writing skills
Q. What is the difference between Easy Grammar texts and Easy Grammar Ultimate Series texts?
A. Easy Grammar texts include Grades 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and Plus. Grades 2-6 are for elementary students. Concepts are taught within sequential grammar units, beginning with prepositions. Using this approach, sentences are stripped to basics, enabling students to understand subject and verb and to build throughout each text.
Now there's finally an answer to the question "What do I use after Easy Grammar Plus?" The Ultimate Series looks like Daily Grams but functions as a continuation to the instruction and mastery found in Easy Grammar. Just like Daily Grams, the course is divided into 180 daily 10 minute lessons but these are teaching lessons as well as review lessons. Each of these lessons provides the familiar capitalization, punctuation and sentence combining exercises. The remaining two exercises per lesson vary. Content includes parts of speech, phrases/clauses, analogies, sentence fragments/run-ons, prefixes/suffixes/roots, dictionary, spelling, simple/compound/complex sentences. In each daily lesson there is instruction associated with at least one of the exercises. Students are to read and discuss the instruction, complete the exercises, and participate in a discussion of the answers. Consistent with mastery learning, concepts are introduced, expanded and reviewed. The Teacher Book includes reproducible student pages with answers in the back. The Student Book is not reproducible and includes only the student pages. The Test Booklet which is reproducible provides one assessment for every 10 lessons. Pages are perforated with answers for each on the facing page to the assessment. In other words, each test page has answers to the following test on the back. ~ Janice
These materials offer a complete and comprehensive coverage of all three elements - grammar (i.e. parts of speech, complete sentences), usage (i.e. homophones, figures of speech, proper word choice to convey meaning), and mechanics (i.e. punctuation, capitalization).

If we have never used this program should my 11th grader begin with the 9th grade book or can he jump right in without missing anything in the 11th grade book? He has very little grammar knowledge.
BEST ANSWER: While my kids have used this program (not the Ultimate Series) from the beginning, I still had my 10th grader and 12th grader using the same Grade 10 book since neither had used any in this series before. It was perfect for both. I think it might be best to start with the 9th grade since your student hasn't done any previous. I personally have always found the levels of the original series to be at a higher level than I was looking for for each grade. This Ultimate series is Daily Grams, so it is supposed to act as daily practice, review and some new stuff after having done the original series. This book has very little in explanation of the grammar rules in this book compared to the others.

I spoke to my daughter, who is using the program, and looked over the books quickly, and we feel that if your child truly has little grammar knowledge, you should likely start with 9th grade. The lessons are quite short and easy to follow, so your student should be able to do 2 per day, allowing them to finish grades 9 and 10 in one year, then the 11th and/or 12th grade book(s) could be used next year in 12th grade. Also, there is no need to purchase a student book if you are only schooling one child, as the student pages are included in the teacher volume. I hope this is helpful, Beth

Personally, I would start with the 9th grade book as one "concept" is taught in a "spiral" manner, meaning a concept will be taught once and later in the book again, and so on and so on. It helps to enforce the concept. I hope this makes sense. If he has very little grammar knowledge, I think if he starts in the 9th grade book and continues on to the 11th grade book, it would set him on a "firmer" foundation with his grammar. This a great book to "catch up" with, as it only took my son 10-15 minutes each day. We truly loved using this book!

If he has very little grammar knowledge I would start with 9th grade. They are very short lessons but it is assumed in the 11th grade book that they already know the basics (noun, pronoun, adj, verb, capitalization, etc.) And that the student can pick those out of basics out of sentences. So the call is yours. FYI look up the book Grammar Land by M.L. Nesbitt. There are also free worksheets for the book on Easy Peasy All in One Homeschool, look under level 8. I am doing this with my 5th,7th,11th, and 12th graders.
Good luck to you.

I think you can jump into 11th grade easily. I used 8th grade and 10th grade last year and they were very similar in content. The same concepts are practiced and repeated in all levels. However, I would make sure you have the answer key unless you have a very good grasp of English grammar. My cheater tip is to purchase the teacher edition only and rip out the answers from the back of the book to keep separate. The teachers book is the same book as the student book, only with the answers.

I love this series and have used it with 5 of my children so far. I would suggest the 9th grade level if your son has little grammar experience. Easy Grammar level 6 will go into even more detailed explanation of various parts of speech and may be even more useful as well.

Easy Grammar is good about presenting a concept, building on it, and lots of review to gain mastery. But because you mentioned he has very little grammar knowledge, I would start with the 9th grade book so the concepts will be more basic and easier to understand.

If you are determined to use this curriculum for your son, you should start with 9th grade. In my opinion, though, this is not a good curriculum to use with a high school student who has little grammar knowledge.

A Must Have!
We have tried other grammar programs with no success. This book has been exactly what my daughter needed to build confidence and a strong foundation in grammar. It's simple and explains everything easily. Student worksheets are in the front and answers are conveniently in the back! Although I ordered the student text, it is not needed and we are not using it. My only complaint is that I wished we had started using this years ago!
