I, too, have been trying to decide how to do grammar. I
reviewed the Shurley materials and viewed the video and had
the same feelings about it being more of classroom
program--something that seemed jarring in a home
atmosphere. I also read about all the other known
homeschool programs for grammar and felt more confused than
ever.

I finally decided to go with the Well-Trained Mind
recommendations--beginning with English for a Thoughtful
Child and continuing with Abeka or the Zaner-Bloser text
(I'm not sure which one yet--I'm a little leery of Abeka
because of what can seem like an excessive workbook
approach but glad to read in the previous post that it is
"impressive").

So, can only tell you what I decided to do; whether it
works or not remains to be seen.
