Phillips Books

As a homeschooling granny I have tried them all. Complete Book of Grammar & Punctuation, Our Mother Tongue, First Language Lessons for the Well Trained Mind and Painless Grammar to name a few.

The children just weren't getting it. When I began using Easy Grammar it was apparent the information actually begin to stick. I highly recommend this program to anyone.

As a homeschooling granny, I have tried many sources (Our Mother Tongue, Complete Book of Grammar & Punctuation, First Language Lessons for the Well Trained Mind and Painless Grammar) to name only a few. This book is tops, though it starts with prepositions as a teacher or student you can decide where to begin.

This book breaks down the 8 parts of speech to their simplest parts for example under the nouns section, it shows you that nouns in a prepositional phrase can not be the subject. By crossing out the prepositional phrase you can narrow down what the subject of every sentence is. It teaches how to make a singular noun plural. When to add s or es. It gives you several days practice before moving on to new concepts and then provides ample review throughout the book.

I originally bought this book to help my 9 & 10 year olds who were struggling with Langauge Arts now even my 6 year old tries to get in on the lessons. I'm buying her Daily Grams Review 2 & 3 so that she can feel like she is learning the same material. I highly recommend this book to anyone serious about learning or teaching Language Arts.

We use this for my homeschooled 7th grader's grammar course. Similar to prior easy grammar books but slightly more advanced.

My Rogers City High School students were able to completely understand the parts of a PC because of Laplante's book. They even dismantled and rebuilt some old machines by the end of the semester! Needs a 3rd edition!

We first found the "Horrible Histories" series while traveling in Scotland - they are great books! Both of my boys love reading them...they are the right amount of history with pictures and drawings for interest.

This book is a must for future teachers! I found it to be an easy read. It is full of information needed to understand the disabilities that children in your classroom may have. Current procedures in assessment and evaluation of children as well as laws regarding disablities and education can be found here.

During my research on the Christian sites of the Holy Land, the name "Egeria" surfaced. I located this book on Amazon and when it arrived, I found it to have a wealth of information. This pilgrim kept a detailed diary which she sent to her "Sisters." She is very specific about the sites and liturgies of the Holy Land. Any one looking to learn more about the spiritual devotion in the Holy Land will enjoy this book. Since her diaries were lost, this partial account is all that exists and it is fascinating to read. Further research links her to St. Sylvia.

Marilyn Monroe, baseball, youthful brothers-in-law and the difficulty of approaching esteemed poets in the streets - these Bagatelles are telling, charmed, staged yet innocent. Delmore is the man.

Gone well before his time. John Phillips was an unparalleled historian and teacher. I used to thumb thru this book at the library at UC Riverside just wondering how anyone could be as hysterical and brilliant as him.

This is an excellent book by well-qualified scholars of an on-trend subject. It is an essential book for all University teachers of writing classes and introductory literature classes. It is highly recommended for all literature professsors--undergraduate and graduate, because it is important to know the context in which our students are reading and writing.
