(Update: February 16, 2012)
We’ve removed the test version of our new grammar curriculum, so that we can begin preparing it for sale. Thank you to all the test families who so generously helped us!
You can be notified of its official release at Foundations Press.
This blog is where we test curriculum that we're developing at Anne's School Place. You're free to use anything, but keep in mind that when a curriculum is ready to be published, it will disappear from this site. Send your comments, ideas, and suggestions. That's why this site exists!

What age/grade would you suggest this for? I love that you use the Bible, however, our family uses the KJV. Would you ever consider making this available using that version?
I personally use this with grades 3 or 4 and up. When they can read well. High school students could certainly use it, too, especially as a good review of grammar, because it will start easier and get appropriately hard enough by the end of the year.
As for the KJV, it will use a LOT of KJV, but because this covers a history of the English language, we wanted Bible verses that use more modern English as well. Also, at the beginning of the year, when not enough grammar is known, we use simpler versions, such as the NIrV. As the students learn more, more difficult versions can be used.
By the way, I love using the KJV in pronoun study. Knowing what the “thee’s” and “thou’s” mean and knowing their “case” helps SO much in understanding both the Bible and the way we use English today. The KJV’s use of these so-called “ancient” words makes it much more specific and understandable.
I hope this helps!

I’d love to write a review of these products on my blog, and also receive email notifications when the next sections are available. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to get Unit 2 to download to PDF. Any suggestions?
Never mind! I was able to get it to download. Thank you!
Your email saying this was available couldn’t have come at a better time! God is so good. I was literally just having a conversation with my daughter about our schedule and Grammar. I love using the Bible (and other literature) to teach grammar, but organizing it myself was becoming overwhelming. I really look forward to trying this!
May God continue to bless you and your work!
Thank you so much for sharing this new grammar curriculum. My 8DS has mastered the basics of grammar, but I have been looking for the next level that will allow him to dig a little deeper. This seems perfect for his level (approx. 3rd-4th) and I especially love that it uses the Bible to teach the lessons. What a great way to hide God’s word in the heart of a child!
Dear Anne,
Thank you for the extra practice pages.. I find that my young men really get the lesson with the extra practice! Well done! Will there be more for the further lessons?
Thank you for this program!! God Bless, Karina
