THSF Grammar vs IEW Fix-It Grammar

Which Homeschool Grammar Curriculum Is Right for You?

An honest, side-by-side look at both curricula — real costs, real pros and cons, and a clear “choose this one if…” verdict based on fit, not hype. We don't name a flat winner because the right choice depends entirely on your child.

We compare how each one teaches, not what each one charges — prices change, and a stale figure of ours helps nobody.

Ours is included. Every subject, every child on your account, no per-book or per-child fee — and that covers the planner, the subject tutors and your state's records too. Most curricula are bought one subject at a time, per child, every year.

Time per day15-20 min

Strengths

  • Short daily lessons — fifteen minutes, which is the amount of grammar most families actually sustain
  • Runs to Grade 12, so sentence work does not simply stop after the elementary years the way most grammar programs do
  • Marks the work itself, which removes the part parents most often quietly drop

Weaknesses

  • A new curriculum, written this year
  • This teaches the rules of a sentence — how it is built and where it goes wrong. It does not teach a child to write an essay, so you will still want a writing course alongside it
