Just wondering if anybody uses Winston Grammar and what you think of it. My ds is 12 and we've really struggled with grammar. This almost sounds "Montessori-ish" so I am just curious.

We've used it and Marianna loved it! Only worked half of it this year but she has a huge, amazing grasp of grammar now and is basically diagramming sentences and I am so proud of her! The little cards make all the difference in the world, giving a tangible reminder for the child to hold and place and then to transfer the idea from the manipulative to the paper

A well thought out grammar course that really works well.

Yes, we've used it, and love it! I want to begin Sarah, our extremely hands on learner on it next year. Our sons, who aren't hands on learners did well with it too, particularly the visual one. I think it's very well done!

Becky,
We've used it also, and loved it. It was a great program for Jackson who was 12 at the time.

Becky,

I know I am getting in late here, but I used this program with much success! My oldest ds really had a hard time getting grammar lessons to "stick" in his mind before using Winston. It really is a wonderful program!

Blessings,

Tea
