Veteran home educator Susan Wise Bauer outlines the classical pattern of education called the trivium, which organises learning around the maturing capacity of the child's mind and comprises three stages: the elementary school "grammar stage", the middle school "logic stage", and the high school "rhetoric stage". Using this theory as your model, you'll be able to instruct your child-whether full-time or as a supplement to classroom education-regardless of your own aptitude in any subjects. Thousands of parents and teachers have already used the detailed book lists and methods described in The Well-Trained Mind to create a truly superior education for the children in their care. This new revised edition contains an updated chapter on applying to colleges and links to a new set of online resources. You do have control over what and how your child learns. The Well-Trained Mind will give you the tools you'll need to teach your child with confidence and success.
With a new name, but the same, thorough, clearly-outlined rules of English Grammar, The Grammar Guidebook is the second edition to The Comprehensive Handbook of Rules. Originally designed to accompany the Grammar for the Well-Trained Mind program, this Grammar Guidebook stands on its own, assembling into one handy reference work all of the principles that govern the English language-from basic definitions ("A noun is the name of a person, place, thing, or idea") through advanced sentence structure and analysis. Each rule is illustrated with examples drawn from great literature, along with classic and contemporary works of science, history, and mathematics. Grammar for the Well-Trained Mind is an innovative program that combines the three essential elements of language learning: understanding and memorizing rules (prescriptive teaching), repeated exposure to examples of how those rules are used (descriptive instruction), and practice using those rules in exercises and in writing (practical experience). Each year, parents and teachers go through the dialogue, rules, and examples in the Core Instructor Text; students follow along in the Student Workbook. This repetition solidifies the concepts, definitions, and examples in the student's mind. There are four Student Workbooks, one for each year. Each Student Workbook contains the same rules and examples-but four completely different sets of exercises and assignments, allowing students to develop a wide-ranging knowledge of how the rules and examples are put to use in writing. Each Student Workbook comes with its own Key, providing not only answers, but also explanations for the parent/instructor, and guidance as to when the answers might be ambiguous (as, in English, they often are). All of the rules covered, along with the repeated examples for each, are assembled for ongoing reference in The Grammar Guidebook. Use Grammar for the Well-Trained Mind to teach English grammar thoroughly, effectively, and with confidence-no matter what your background or experience!
Diagramming a sentence shows you how it is (or isn't) working, and unlocks the door to clear, balanced writing. These exercises by grammar experts Susan Wise Bauer and Jessica Otto use sentences by classic and contemporary authors to give students practice in every diagramming rule covered in The Diagramming Dictionary, from the simplest noun-verb sentences to challenging, complex pieces from Dickens and Austen.Full answers are provided at the back of the book.How to Diagram Any Sentence is the perfect skill-building practice book for anyone who wants to communicate with clarity and precision.(Using this book requires The Diagramming Dictionary, which explains each rule that is practiced in How to Diagram Any Sentence.)
Susan Wise Bauer's narrative history series has sold over 1.5 million copies and is a staple of homes and schools worldwide. Coloring the Story of the World gives children a new way to experience the thrilling drama of human history.

Each step of the diagramming process is illustrated and thoroughly explained to the student.
