Q. What grade level is Easy Grammar Plus?
A. Easy Grammar Plus is a non-grade level text; therefore, it has wide application. Although the text is ideal for seventh grade, it is used by various middle schools (junior highs), high schools, and in some colleges.
Q. What is the difference between Easy Grammar texts and Easy Grammar Ultimate Series texts?
A. Easy Grammar texts include Grades 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and Plus. Grades 2-6 are for elementary students. Concepts are taught within sequential grammar units, beginning with prepositions. Using this approach, sentences are stripped to basics, enabling students to understand subject and verb and to build throughout each text.
EG Plus will give any student beyond Grade 6 a solid, basic understanding of grammar. It's especially popular because the text is written at a fourth-grade reading level. Therefore, students can focus on concepts. Like the other Easy Grammar texts, concepts are taught within sequential grammar units. Using a prepositional approach, sentences are stripped to basics for students to identify subject and verb and to build on more challenging topics such as subject-verb agreement, predicate nominatives, and correct usage in all areas.
The Easy Grammar Ultimate Series texts are similar to both Easy Grammar and. The texts are like Easy Grammar in that they are Ateaching texts. Concepts relating to phrases, clauses, compound-complex sentences, and other higher-level concepts (as well as basics) are presented in a 180 daily lesson format found in Daily GRAMS texts. Concepts are introduced, reintroduced, applied, expanded, etc. throughout each text. See the "Scope and Sequence" for each EGUS level: Grade 8, Grade 9, Grade 10, Grade 11, and Grade 12.
Mastery of basic grammar facts. Independent student work. Lots of review and practice. That's what Easy Grammar provides. It's convenient and takes no teacher prep time. The general idea is to introduce grammar gently to young students (Easy Grammar Daily Guided Teaching, grades 1-2). The middle school years (grades 3-7) focus on systematic instruction and provide lots of practice to master the basics as well as daily review. The secondary years (Easy Grammar Ultimate, grades 8-12) continue daily review, coupled with some advanced instruction. The courses vary in structure at different grade levels. Grades 3-6 are similar in structure but grade-level appropriate. Easy Grammar Plus is a course that can be used either in 7th grade or as a complete grammar review for older students. Daily Grams, available for grades 3-7, supplements and complements the EG series by providing daily review.
Each grade level Teacher Edition provides bite-size lessons, student practice and assessment pages, and those same pages with answers filled in. Both the practice pages and the tests are reproducible for families. Student Workbooks include lesson and practice pages. Test Books (available for Grades 3 and up) provide pre and post tests as well as sectional tests. Grade level Sets include the Teacher Edition, Student Book and Test Book (if available for that level).

I did. Here's why - while the teacher book does include the student worksheets, they are not perforated and the answers to the NEXT worksheet are on the back of that days student worksheet, which means you would have to make a copy of each student worksheet. The teacher book is 1 1/2 inches thick and I did not want to have to be smashing the book on the copier to get each student worksheet. It is well worth the money to get the student book for these reasons alone, plus it saves you time, the child doesn't have to wait for you to make copies if you didn't get all the worksheets printed ahead of time. When mom is already busy with other children, laundry, meals, correcting tests etc. It is nice to have it all done for you in their own book.
Easy Grammar Plus is a one year course that focuses on mastery of grammar basics. It can be used in the middle school years as systematic grammar instruction or in the high school years as a review course.
Either edition would do great but I like the Easy Grammar Plus for my 13 yr old son, who has dyslexia. You get the same basic information but with a bit more depth for the older student. It really depends on your students reading comprehension skills and your level of participation, if they struggle to understand written direction or if you can't devote half hour to focus on this with your student, then the Grade 6 is better. Hope this helps.
I just want a basic grammar curriculum with lots of review.
My kid loves this Grammar curriculum. The lessons make sense and the skills build upon each other.
I've used the Easy Grammer products for almost 20 years. They are a tried & true resource for grammar - why choose something else?
This is a good, no-nonsense grammar program. It doesn't have a lot of fluff or distracting pages, but it isn't overly complicated either.
