Grammar for the Well-Trained Mind: Core Instructor Text

The Core Instructor Text provides not only rules and examples, but scripted dialogue that makes it possible for any parent or teacher to use the program effectively, along with instructor notes that thoroughly explain ambiguities and difficulties.

It can be purchased alone or in the Purple Complete Bundle (GM218).

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.

• Scripted lessons make it possible for any parent or teacher to use the program effectively.
• Step-by-step instruction takes students from the most basic concepts through advanced grammatical concepts such as modal and hortative verbs and multiple functions of noun clauses.
• Extensive diagramming exercises reinforce the rules and help technical and visual learners to understand and use the English language effectively. All diagrams are thoroughly explained to the instructor/parent.
• Text for examples and exercises are drawn from great works of literature, as well as from well-written nonfiction texts in science, mathematics, and the social sciences.
• Regular review is built into each year of work.
• Core text is designed to be used effectively with students from fifth grade through high school, regardless of background.
• The program is easily customizable to each student’s strengths and weaknesses.
