Harvey's Elementary Grammar And Composition Written by 19th century educator Thomas W. Harvey is an advanced grammar book. In fact, we have had a number of calls from college English majors who told us that they never learned some of the material contained in Harvey's Grammar! He has designed a thorough language study with composition assignments interspersed throughout. The text begins with words, moves to simple sentences and later to complex sentences, easing the child into grammar along the way. This text also covers the eight parts of speech as well as punctuation, diagraming, proper usage, declension, parsing, and more. If you have used the Mott Series Reading workbooks for grade four, your child will have worked through the Harvey's Grammar once. He will have received an overview of those concepts. He will not have thoroughly explored them. This grammar should be reused for fifth and sixth grades because it is that advanced. It is also designed to require minimal guidance from the teacher/parent.
Harvey's Revised English Grammar This grammar text can be used in the 7th and 8th grades, as well as in high school. It is a comprehensive grammar in the classic sense, including four parts. Orthography: Study of letters, syllables, sounds and spelling that make up English words. Etymology: Study of words classified into parts of speech. Each part of speech is further studied according to classes, number, tense, mode, and other attributes which affect it as variously used in sentences. Syntax: Study of sentences, their elements, relations of parts, and so forth. Includes study of punctuation. Prosody: the study of accent, quality, and tone of language, including rhythms and measures as used in poetry. This text includes a more complete treatment of this topic than can be found in virtually all modern grammar books. Students can use it for a reference to continually check on rules and definitions. (HB, 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, 218 pages)

To the two English Grammar volumes written by the 19th century educator Thomas W. Harvey, we have added keys which contain the answers to both volumes. These compact volumes cannot be matched for the thoroughness with which they treat every aspect of English grammar.
This textbook can be used in grades 4 to 6. A language study done in three parts with composition woven throughout, this text begins with words, moves to simple sentences and later to complex sentences, easing the child into grammar along the way. The eight parts of speech are studied as well as punctuation.
