This book is a teaching text with the Daily Grams format. The lessons in Easy Grammar: Grade 1 will provide students in first grade (ages 6-7) with the basic concepts of capitalization, punctuation, word formation, sentence formation, and sentence combining. The concepts that students learn in Grade 1 will provide a foundation for future learning with the Easy Grammar series.
This set contains the following items:
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 used Easy Grammar when I was homeschooled and want to use it with my kids.
It has a good source of grammar for 1st grade.
I was looking for something with simple grammar lessons to allow more time to focus on reading. I also love that the items taught are repeated thoroughly throughout the course.
