I am a total grammar nerd. So it’s very important to me that my children learn and develop strong grammar and writing skills. However my children don’t tend to enjoy homeschool grammar lessons so it’s tricky to find curriculum that is thorough without being tedious. Enter Fix It! Grammar by Institute for Excellence in Writing (IEW)!

We were blessed to receive Book 1: The Nose Tree of the Fix It! Grammar curriculum to try out in our homeschool. Because Fix It! is not a grade-level based program, I chose to use this book with Isaiah who is 17 and complete lessons at double pace, completing two weeks of material per calendar week.

This program is set up so that each book builds on the book before it, so IEW recommends starting with Book 1 - The Nose Tree regardless of grade level. However, a placement test is provided if you think your student can skip a book or two. There is also a recorded webinar video HERE that is an introduction to the program.
