<p>My 15 year old freshman daughter is currently taking her 2nd CTY online course (persuasive essay writing). She is a very good writer, but does commit grammar errors that are hard to break. I think she could be a much better writer if the grammatical problems were addressed. The essay course instructors seem to overlook this issue in her submitted work.</p>
<p>Does anyone have any experience with online grammar courses like CTY? Local colleges? She has applied to a boarding school and will hopefully get an admission offer this week. I am just trying to find an opportunity for her to improve on her grammar usage.</p>
<p>I am taking an advanced grammar course at the local university (I am an adult student). I have been learning quite a bit -- but to be honest, a good book would probably help just as much. There isn't anything too complicated -- just a matter of learning the rules and practicing them.</p>
<p>We are using Blumenthal's English 3200 and Diagramming by Design by Vitto for my class. both are standard college texts.</p>
<p>A good homeschooling text on grammar is Analytical Grammar: <a href="http://www.analyticalgrammar.com/%5B/url%5D">http://www.analyticalgrammar.com/</a></p>
<p>Stanford EPGY <a href="http://www.stanford.edu%5B/url%5D">www.stanford.edu</a> then go to academics/k-12/ under English courses there is a course for grammar-you recieve credit as well! Good luck.</p>
