Grammar Galaxy uses the power of story to teach language arts concepts. Instead of your student forgetting dry material and having to learn the same concepts year after year, your student will master the material. Your student will learn the why of language arts and will grow in confidence. The children in the story struggle with spelling, public speaking, procrastination, and more. In other words, they’re relatable. Short lessons with lots of white space and verbal or hands-on activities will motivate your students like no traditional workbook can. Grammar Galaxy teaches skills like reading fluency and handwriting speed that aren’t found in most language arts curricula. And it’s fun!

Nebula is the first level in Grammar Galaxy that is for beginning readers. Once your student can read short words and is able to form letters, start Nebula. Until then, work with your preferred phonics and handwriting curriculum and keep reading to your student. Most Nebula students will be in first or second grade, but the books are intentionally left unlabeled. Students through the eighth grade who are reluctant readers or reluctant to do traditional English studies can also use Nebula.

Protostar is the second level in Grammar Galaxy that is for third graders or those who have completed Nebula or its equivalent.

Yellow Star is the third level in Grammar Galaxy that is for fourth graders or those who have completed Protostar or its equivalent.

Red Star is the fourth level in Grammar Galaxy that is for fifth graders or those who have completed Yellow Star or its equivalent.

Blue Star is the fifth level in Grammar Galaxy that is for sixth graders or those who have completed Red Star or its equivalent.

If you’ll be using one level with multiple ages, start at the youngest’s level. Most members of the Grammar Guardians Facebook group recommend starting with Nebula if you aren’t sure. However, you may read the scope and sequence or have your student take the placement quiz.

Absolutely! Simply read the story to all your children. Each student will need a Mission Manual if you’re purchasing print, but only one text per level is required for a family.

No. The author is a Christian, but Grammar Galaxy is a secular curriculum. The dedication in some volumes is “to the glory of God and future guardians of Grammar Galaxy.”

Solutions follow each update letter in the Mission Manual.

Your student will be confused and frustrated without both books.

Yes! You are allowed to make copies of the Mission Manual for family members living in your household. You can use the digital text on your screen while reading aloud to students. The digital Mission Manual can also be used on a tablet with a stylus. Copying the printed books is prohibited.

They do not. At 350 pages+, they can be written in but will not lie flat. To have books that lie flat, print the digital version of the manuals or buy print and have the spine cut off. This can be done very inexpensively at your local copy shop.

The story and each of the three steps of the mission take 10-15 minutes to complete. Many families complete the lesson on three separate days of the week. Others choose to complete an entire lesson on one day a week. Still others want to do even more than one lesson per week. At a pace of one lesson per week, Grammar Galaxy will take 36 weeks to complete or an academic school year.

Definitely. It was written with special needs students in mind. The audiobook versions of texts are perfect for dyslexic students and busy teachers. Many families report that their special needs students are enjoying language arts for the first time.

Yes! Once your student is reading fluently at a 3rd grade level or above, the majority of the lesson can be done independently. The activity portion of each mission usually requires teacher involvement. Teachers can read the lessons to beginning readers. Lessons take about ten to fifteen minutes a day–perfect for busy parents and short attention spans.

Absolutely! Continue your phonics and handwriting curriculum if your child is still developing as a reader and writer, and use it with other curriculum of your choice.

No. Grammar Galaxy is a complete language arts curriculum. Lessons are short enough to allow time for lots of other reading and writing activities. No additional writing or grammar curriculum is required. Subscribers receive a free monthly mission calendar to enhance the learning. Purchasers also have access to additional resources for each lesson.

There isn’t one! You can use any books you choose, whether they are part of your history curriculum or just for fun. No more skipping lessons because you’ve already studied another book. If you want to do in-depth literary studies, I recommend Literary Adventures for Kids and 7 Sisters literature studies.

Lessons designed to teach grade-level vocabulary should be mastered. But the vocabulary presented in the text does not have to be. Grammar Galaxy exposes students to high-level vocabulary intentionally. Repeated exposure to the words in reading and conversation will eventually produce mastery without your student memorizing definitions. However, the Flashcard & Fun packs include flashcards, slides, and games to promote vocabulary retention.

Nebula, directed at 1st/2nd grade, Protostar, directed at 3rd grade, Yellow Star, directed at 4th grade, Red Star, directed at 5th grade, and Blue Star, directed at 6th grade are currently available.
