Melancholy Grammar

Melancholy Grammar brings a moody, literary vibe to a subject that often feels dry and mechanical. This set of workbooks from Mint and Bloom teaches sentence structure, parts of speech, and usage through concise explanations paired with exercises that reference evocative, slightly melancholic prose instead of bland sample sentences. Designed with teens in mind, it respects their maturity and leans into the aesthetic many older readers enjoy. Parents appreciate that lessons are bite-sized and clearly sequenced, making it simple to slot into a daily language-arts block. It’s more focused than a full ELA program, so you’ll still want separate writing and literature, but as a targeted grammar track it offers solid value.
