Easy-to-Use Resource for Homeschool Grammar and Writing Practice

This was a great, easy-to-use resource for our homeschool. My 4th grader enjoyed the activities and they were just the right amount to give him a dose of a lesson without learning feeling overwhelming or too time consuming. I would like to see the main grammar lessons explained a little more for the parent to use with their child so the units can serve as more of as a main learning source than a supplement, but otherwise I thought it was well organized and had enough variety to gve the child practice and keep them engaged. Love that all of the lessons were directly tied into the literature.
