Fix-It! Grammar from Institute for Excellence in Writing is a grammar program where students correct and copy a daily passage instead of completing isolated exercises. Each week focuses on specific grammar, punctuation, or usage concepts, which students apply by editing errors and rewriting sentences correctly. Developed by IEW to align with its writing approach, Fix-It! emphasizes grammar in context and gentle, incremental practice. Parents like that lessons are short, predictable, and require minimal prep, making it easy to add to a busy homeschool day. It’s best for roughly grades 3 and up, depending on the level chosen, and works particularly well alongside a writing program. The older-style layout and scripted teacher notes can feel a bit formal, but the method is efficient. To increase impact, have students explain aloud why they made each change, reinforcing understanding instead of guessing.
