Winston Grammar
The purpose of The Winston Grammar Program is to help students understand the structure of language and comprehend the principles of traditional grammar. The Winston Program uses innovative means to achieve conventional ends. It does away with the traditional grammar textbook, lecture approach, and heavy emphasis on memorization. Instead, it gives students a set of color-coded clue cards and a book of exercises, which together generate multi-sensory activities:
Moving
Seeing
Hearing
Speaking
Repeated use of the cards results in the students acquisition of knowledge with little or no memorization required.
We used Winston Grammar along with other grammar methods. Its fun for everyone but especially useful for kids who need "hands-on" materials to keep them interested.
Each student has colored cards with the names of each of the parts of speech printed on them. As the teacher calls out the sentence, the child puts the appropriate card in the order of the words in the sentence. Its easy for the teacher to spot when the student puts the card out if the answer is correct because each card is a different color. My kids loved this hands-on approach.
