Patricia Rock Communications, Inc.: THE GREAT GRAMMARIAN(R) Home School Edition

Language Play for Serious Learning

It's important for homeschooled kids to get socialization - but homeschooling parents don't want to shortchange the rest of their education! If only there were an educational product that would enable children to practice social interaction while learning important information and valuable reasoning skills... In fact, there is!

Teamwork and training:
THE GREAT GRAMMARIAN(R) Home School Edition offers children the opportunity to review vital language concepts while practicing teamwork and good sportsmanship as well. As Kimberly Hahn writes in her review of the game for The Catholic Home Educator, "It's a joy to hear [children] discuss their answer, giving their reasons for a particular response... it is just the kind of game you want to reinforce their training, along with a lot of fun and laughter." The game can be played within a family, especially since the questions are in varying levels of difficulty. Cathy Duffy remarks in her review for the Christian Home Educators Curriculum Materials, "It is set up for team play, but it should work just as well if students play as individuals." It can also be played by children from several families and makes a wonderful get-together activity.

Helpful to kids with ADHD:
THE GREAT GRAMMARIAN(R) game is also effective for children with ADHD and other difficulties because it engages so many different learning styles. Children hear and see the questions, discuss possible answers with their teammates, and move playing pieces around the board, thus experiencing auditory, visual, and kinetic input. The brightly-colored board, fun accessories, and the excitement of the game itself help to keep distractible children on-track and focused on the material.

Important college preparation material:
The game covers such crucial areas as spelling, punctuation, parts of speech, editing, pronunciation, and definitions. This makes it especially beneficial to homeschoolers planning for college. Hahn observes, "As an English major at Grove City College, I could not believe how poorly trained incoming Freshmen were in the area of grammar - THE GREAT GRAMMARIAN(R) can help you prepare your home." Laura Berquist, author of Designing Your Own Classical Curriculum and Director of the Kolbe Academy Home School, says, "I firmly think that grammar is an important discipline in intellectual formation; for the young student it's the best way to learn how to analyze. [This] game helps the student learn to analyze. And it's fun. What a great combination."

Time-tested, effective program:
THE GREAT GRAMMARIAN(R) Home School Edition is a junior version of an adult educational game that has been used by many Fortune 500 companies to train their employees. These games were developed by Patricia Rock, who has taught English from elementary through graduate school. She currently teaches graduate and undergraduate courses at New York University, and has also been a national consultant in Written Communications for over twenty years. She has received numerous grants and awards and has been a speaker for a variety of national associations.
