Most student workbooks contain a Jingle Section, a Reference Section, a Practice Section, and a Test Section. The Jingle Section contains all the jingles. The Reference Section includes vocabulary words, guided practices, samples, guidelines, and charts. The Practice Section provides extra practice on the various skills taught before the skills are tested. The Test Section contains the tests for each chapter. Each test is divided into four basic areas: grammar, vocabulary, language skills, and a summary of things learned for the week. Grade 2.
This is an excellent book for 2nd grade grammar. We're not using the creative writing parts of the book, only the grammar portion. The jingles are great for helping the kids remember the parts of speech and what they do. If they get stuck with something, we just go back to the jingle and they can usually figure it out on their own just by reciting the jingle back to themselves. If you're homeschooling classically, Shurley Grammar works very well with that style of education, too.
the shurley method

This book is an excellent resource for youngsters who find english difficult. The basis of the "shurley method" is repetition and music. The combination makes the english system not only easier to master, but also fun! Our family was introduced to this idea in our local public school system. However, when our family relocated, this method was not used in our children's new school district. I was thrilled to find these books available for such a reasonable price. Now my children still have availability to this wonderful program.
