(Grammar for the Well-Trained Mind)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe second of four non-sequential Student Workbooks in the Grammar for the Well-Trained Mind series  Grammar for the Well-Trained Mind: Red Workbook provides detailed  well-designed exercises in the correct use of English grammar  based on great works of literature as well as classic and contemporary works of science and history. Grammar for the Well-Trained Mind: Red Workbook  along with the accompanying Key and the Core Instructor Text  make up a full year of Grammar for the Well-Trained Mind: a complete course that takes students from basic definitions (A noun is the name of a person  place  thing  or idea) through advanced sentence structure and analysisall the grammar skills needed to write and speak with eloquence and confidence. This innovative program combines the three essential elements of language learning: understanding and memorizing rules (prescriptive teaching)  repeated exposure to examples of how those rules are used (descriptive instruction)  and practice using those rules in exercises and in writing (practical experience). Each year  parents and teachers go through the dialogue  rules  and examples in the Core Instructor Text; students follow along in the Workbook. This repetition solidifies the concepts  definitions  and examples in the students mind. There are four non-sequential Workbooks. Students can pick up any of the Workbooks and follow along. Each Workbook contains the same rules and examplesbut four completely different sets of exercises and assignments  allowing students to develop a wide-ranging knowledge of how the rules and examples are put to use in writing. The Red Workbook comes with its own Key  providing not only answers  but also explanations for the parent\/instructor  and guidance as to when the answers might be ambiguous (as  in English  they often are). All of the rules covered  along with the repeated examples for each  are assembled for ongoing reference in the Comprehensive Handbook of Rules. This will become the students indispensable guide to writing through high school  into college and beyond. 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. Each step of the diagramming process is illustrated and thoroughly explained to the student. 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. The first of four non-sequential workbooks  each containing new exercises that allow students to practice and apply the grammar principles under study.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45279684231221,"sku":"ByrdShop_1945841265","price":26.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781945841262.jpg?v=1780606295","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/red-workbook-a-complete-course-for-young-writers-aspiring-rhetoricians-and-anyone-else-who-needs-to-understand-how-english-works-grammar-for-the-welltrained-mind-9781945841262","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
