As we prepare for Charlie to return to school this year I have noticed Charlie has concerns with his math and handwriting. So, I have been looking for resources to help Charlie overcome his handicaps. Since Homeschool is also starting for most of you I thought I would ask you “WHAT ARE YOU FOCUSING ON THIS YEAR? WHAT ARE YOUR CONCERNS?” What are you doing to overcome the concerns and help the children overcome their obstacles?
I would like to let you know I’ve rounded up my top back to school picks in Science, Reading and Writing and I hope these resources make teaching your children easier.

Pro-Description
Analytical Grammar is a program that teaches English grammar, punctuation, and usage. It is designed to be taught in three grammar “seasons” (see timeline) over three years; however, it is flexible enough to be adapted to a one- or two-year schedule.
Analytical Grammar has been successfully used with all students from the learning disabled to the highly gifted. This innovative and logical method is not only extremely effective, but makes learning grammar fun.
Analytical Grammar is an easy-to-follow, step-by-step approach that will prepare your student for high school and college-level work. The home teacher does not need to be a grammar expert but can learn right along with the student.
Analytical Grammar covers:
All the parts of speech and parts of the sentence
Phrases and clauses
Classic sentence diagramming
Rules of punctuation and capitalization
Common usage errors.
Analytical Grammar includes:
Student notes
Plenty of exercises to practice skills
Tests to evaluate progress
Complete answer keys and useful teacher notes
Instructions for creating a Grammar Notebook which becomes a valuable reference resource
An optional Review and Reinforcement workbook to keep skills sharp between “seasons.”
Best taught over two to three grammar “seasons,” the Analytical Grammar program is the affordable way to ensure your student gets the language mastery he or she needs to succeed!
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
