“My method is a thorough, yet easy approach that doesn’t overwhelm students. Concepts are introduced at the most basic level, and these build to increase mastery. This allows for overt participation, which engages students.” – says Dr. Wanda Phillips from Easy Grammar Systems. “We’re honored our nation’s parents and teachers feel the same way.”
Author Dr. Wanda Phillips is recognized for her expertise in teaching grammar. Her award-winning Easy Grammar series (teaching texts for Grades 1-7), Daily GRAMS series, (review texts for Grades 3-7), and Easy Grammar Ultimate Series (teaching texts for Grades 8-12+) are thorough and promote mastery learning.

What is the difference between Easy Grammar & Daily GRAMS?
Easy Grammar
Dr. Phillips wrote Easy Grammar texts (Grades 1-6 and Plus) to teach concepts. She first introduces common prepositions and deleting prepositional phrases to help students determine subject, verb agreement, etc. Phillips is also noted for introducing concepts at a basic level and building for understanding–in just two-three lessons daily. She has also added unit reviews/unit tests and cumulative reviews/cumulative tests to promote mastery.
The teacher edition contains teaching instructions, answer keys, and reproducible student pages. When you open the book, the answer key is on the left side and the student page is on the right. The student workbook would save you from having to make copies of those student pages in the teacher edition. Also, the tests are in the teacher edition. However, if you don’t want to make copies of the tests then you can get the student test booklet.
Daily GRAMS
Wanda designed Daily GRAMS texts (Grades 3-7) as daily, 5-10-minute reviews (180 lessons). She developed a consistent format focusing on capitalization (#1), punctuation (#2), grammar and other concepts (#3/4), and sentence combining (#5) for improved quality of writing. The process of reviewing concepts cyclically (rotationally) enhances mastery. Phillips recommends starting each class period with a review lesson.
The teacher text has the reproducible student pages in the front of the book and the answers in the back. This is the only book you need if you have one child (the child can write directly in the book). If you have more than one child and don’t want to make copies then you can get the student workbook.
Easy Grammar Ultimate Series
Easy Grammar Ultimate Series (Grades 8-12+) provides daily teaching by following the same format as Daily GRAMS. The 180 lessons provide high-school students with continued learning and application in daily, 10-minute lessons and have been designed cyclically. This allows students more class time for literature and writing.
The teacher text has the reproducible student pages in the front of the book and the answers in the back. This is the only book you need if you have one child (the child can write directly in the book). If you have more than one child and don’t want to make copies, then you can get the student workbook. The student test book is a separate assessment book. The answers as well as the tests are found in the test booklet.
