I enjoy teaching grammar to eight year old Caleb gently using sentences from his books and from his spelling dictations. I thought it would be fun to color code the parts of speech and label sentences on a white board. I made a PDF with the eight regular parts of speech, plus labels for articles, which I know are technically adjectives, but just go with it :O) I laminated my pieces and placed small magnet squares on the backs. Grammar now feels like a game. Feel free to download the labels and make your own set!

Here are more advanced labels that I made for my junior high age daughter. She uses the Michael Clay Thompson Grammar Town series from Royal Fireworks Press and just loves it!

A nifty grammar book from 1920
If you like M.L. Nesbit's Grammar Land, then I'm sure you will like this elementary grammar text from 1920. It is called The Child's Own English Book: An Elementary English Grammar by Alice Eliza Ball. You can download a free PDF copy at Archive.org.
