Classical Grammar: Book I

We absolutely love this book! I hope Angelus Press continues to offer it for years to come. This book presents basic English grammar in short, clear, concise lessons that the student readily grasps. The shortness of the lessons gives a very Charlotte Mason feel to the curriculum. I also love how this book covers 3 years of grammar in one short book. Thank you, thank you, Angelus Press!

We love it! This book is simple and to the point. I’ve tried many programs with my children. This book has helped them understand and retain better than anything I’ve done so far. I love that it teaches you to parse. A lost skill that’s important.

John, do you not know how to parse?

My children do and as a result they express themselves articulately and logically; a quality which is absent from their peers who do not practice parsing.

It would be unfortunate for parents to deprive their children, our future, of said enrichment simply because of your personal attitude. Therefore I offer my insight into the advantage of taking on this study.

-Sincerely,
A mother whose child's English homework was kicked back to her in 6th grade public school
Reason for returned, ungraded homework assigned for re-do: The English teacher could not read in cursive.

P.S. I bet that English teacher also considered cursive to be excruciating drudgery.

P.P.S. I bet the Passion of the Christ was even more excruciating.

P.P.P.S. Do you have a superior text for parsing?

Every student that has had the misfortune of encountering this book regrets being introduced to the excruciating drudgery of parsing. It is a forgettable text that went out of print for a number of good reasons.
