Standards Based Grammar: Homeschool
What Is Standards Based Grammar?
Every grammar standard for grades 3–8 in one book — $39.
Standards Based Grammar: Homeschool Edition covers every grammar skill your child needs from third grade through eighth grade, all in one book. Each lesson gives your child the spoken and written rules of English in a simple, step-by-step format, and each one builds on what came before.
Your child won’t just circle grammar mistakes. They learn each rule and use it right away in their own writing. You’ll also know exactly which skills your child has mastered and which need more practice.
Standards Based Grammar turns students into grammar experts. They’ll understand each rule and be able to explain the logic behind it. Best of all, you don’t need a background in grammar to teach it. The lesson is right at the top of every page.

Program Features
Preview of Standards Based Grammar : Homeschool
-
Student Worksheets – More than two hundred worksheets give your child practice in every grammar standard from grade 3 through grade 8. Each worksheet includes a short lesson, examples, and practice. Read the lesson together, often just a few minutes, and your child is ready to work.
-
Journal Prompts – If your child isn’t using a grammar rule in their writing, do they really understand it? Each journal prompt has your child apply the new skill right away in a short piece of creative writing.
-
Assessments – Each unit ends with a test. Use it to see what your child has mastered, then go back to just the skills that need more work.
-
Parent Checklists – As a homeschool parent, you’re both the teacher and the parent, and you need to know exactly where your child stands. The checklist after each test shows your child’s progress on every skill. When a concept needs more time, you’ll know right away. You can keep practicing that skill while moving forward with new ones.
-
Student Checklists – Keep a running record of every skill your child has learned. Because one book covers grades 3 through 8, the same checklist follows your child year after year. If your state asks for records or a portfolio, the checklists show exactly what your child has covered.
-
Teacher Checklists – Never wonder whether you’ve skipped something. This checklist shows which standards you’ve taught and which are still ahead.
Versatility of Standards Based Grammar
Standards Based Grammar can be your complete grammar program, or it can fill the gaps in the curriculum you already use. Copy the worksheets for every child in your family, as many as you need. You can:
-
Teach several children at different grade levels from the same book.
-
Use entire units, or pull out just the worksheets your child needs.
-
Move faster through skills your child already knows, and slow down where they struggle.
-
Use the tests to measure your child’s progress.
Other Benefits of Standards Based Grammar
Incredible Value:
Grammar workbooks usually cover a single grade, so families buy a new one every year, for every child. Standards Based Grammar: Homeschool Edition covers grades 3 through 8 in one book, for less than a single grade-level book plus a few dollars. You can copy the worksheets for every child in your family. Buy it once and use it for years.
Easy Lesson Planning:
Homeschool parents plan every subject, every day. Grammar shouldn’t add to that. Every worksheet has the skill and lesson at the top of the page, so there’s nothing to prepare. Read the lesson with your child, and you’re ready to go. Each page also works as a quick refresher whenever your child needs to review a skill.
Improved Test Scores:
Every worksheet in Standards Based Grammar was tested in real classrooms and rewritten until it worked. Classrooms using the program have shown language-score gains of more than 12%, and many students earn perfect scores in language. If your family takes a standardized test each year, or your state requires one, your child will be ready.
Every Kind of Learner
Homeschooling lets you teach each child at their own pace, and Standards Based Grammar is built for that. A child who needs more time can work through a unit slowly and repeat worksheets until the skill sticks. A child who’s ready to move ahead can test out of what they already know and skip to new material. Because the book spans six grade levels, you’ll never run out of material, and you’ll never be stuck with a book your child has outgrown.
Already Using a Curriculum?
Many homeschool language arts programs combine reading, writing, spelling, and grammar into one package. Grammar often gets one worksheet per lesson, tied to whatever story your child is reading that week. What if your child needs more practice? What if you skip a story? How do you know every grammar skill has been covered?
Standards Based Grammar fills those gaps. Use it alongside your current curriculum to make sure your child masters every grammar standard from grade 3 through grade 8.
