The importance of the spoken and written word in Christian culture cannot be overestimated. In this English grammar guide, Nancy Wilson surveys the major concepts in English grammar for beginners at the late elementary and junior high level (even adults seeking a brush-up). Wilson avoids common, contrived sentences that serve merely to illustrate her point; instead, she uses many selections from Scripture and from great English writers which help to instruct the student through their content, style, and structure. In addition to a helpful format that highlights key definitions, punctuation issues, and important concepts, short historical sidebars tell the facinating story of the development of English. She continues the traditional and challenging exercise of sentence diagramming, which trains students to quickly ananlyze the structure of any given sentence. The grammatical explanations, the logic of diagrams, and the rhetoric of her examples blend with complementary emphases to create a helpful classical and Christian text.

Great book. Simple and clear with helpful exercises. This is a must for homeschooling grammar, but it is also helpful for more general use (like a refresher course for before starting a class). Good resource

4.0 out of 5 stars An Alternative to Grammar Workbooks
Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2010
Verified Purchase
"Our Mother Tongue" is an excellent refresher for older students who already have a solid background in grammar. The exercises are brief, just long enough to remind students of what they already know. In addition to covering all of the basics of grammar, "Our Mother Tongue" also includes interesting sidebars about the history of the English language. The book does not cover composition, and punctuation is addressed only in an appendix to the book.

As much as I like "Our Mother Tongue," I would not recommend this book for students who do not already have a good foundation in grammar. Each lesson, while short, covers a lot of material. Students without a solid grammar foundation will need a slower-paced text with more practice exercises.

It's difficult for me to imagine anything from Nancy Wilson being mediocre. This book lives up to my expectations. I purchased this to brush up on my grammar skills and am finding it to be an excellent tool. Highly recommended!

Great grammar course. Mainly geared towards the older child but could probably use in later elementary years also. Lessons are short and sweet and to the point, not much fluff to them.

3.0 out of 5 stars Christian grammar text.
Reviewed in France on October 17, 2018
Verified Purchase
Didn’t realize that this was a Christian grammar text. It’s simple, and fairly easy to follow, however a student would probably need an answer key to go along with this if they are working on their own, or a competent older student/adult, to insure that they understand the material being covered. My preference lies in other grammar programs for students.
